[Verse 1: Adam Gardner/Gardner & Ryan Miller]
There we stand about to fly
Peeking down over land, parachute behind
What was that moment for which we live
Without a parachute about to dive?
[Chorus: Ryan Miller/Adam Gardner & Miller]
Find my self convincing
Blindly falling faster
How easy
Oh, know the place I'm leaving
And the rest just is gone
[Verse 2: Adam Gardner & Ryan Miller/Gardner]
Oh the adoration
But how much strength does it take?
For exploration, for split decision
Oh are you stronger to remain? Oh
[Chorus: Ryan Miller/Adam Gardner & Miller]
Find myself convincing
I'm blindly falling faster
How easy
Oh, know the place I'm leaving
And the rest just is gone
[Bridge: Ryan Miller]
It crept up on me
Ignored all my pleas
Begging to leave
No justice to maim me
Fell out of the sky
Cease it to be
Without a reply
Gravity fails me
And when I awoke
I knew what was real
Hope to convince you
Lies they all torture me
Opened the door
Knew what was me
I finally realized
Parachute over me
Parachute over me
Parachute over me
[Outro: Adam Gardner/Ryan Miller]
(It crept up on me)
Ignored all my pleas
Begging to leave
No justice to maim me
Fell out of the sky
Cease it to be (oh, oh)
Without a reply
Gravity fails me
And when I awoke
I knew what was real (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Hope to convince you
Lies they all torture me
Opened the door
Knew what was me
I finally realized
Gravity fails me (Na na na na)
And when I awoke (Na na na na)
I knew what was real
Hope to convince you (Na na)
Lies they all torture me
Opened the door
Knew what was me
I finally realized
(Parachute over me)
Gravity fails me
And when I awoke
I knew what was real
Hope to convince you
(Parachute over me)
Lies they all torture me
Opened the door
Knew what was me
I finally realized (oh, oh)
Gravity fails me
And when I awoke
I knew what was real
Hope to convince you (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Lies they all torture me
Opened the door
Knew what was me
