Parachute is the 12th track of Nina Nesbitt’s Mountain Music album:
“I originally intended to write it about feeling weird and introverted but I eventually realised it had to be a love song (in a round about way).”

[Verse 1]
I built a wall as tall as the trees
One side for them, the other for me
I spent my whole life away from the front lines
Till you came crashing through
Lost my defences, now I'm defenceless with you
[Chorus]
I'm introverted, it's under the surface
My car's in accelerate, I wanna reverse it
I walk on the stage and I look for the curtain
Sometimes I wish I could be a new person
I'm a deep cut, a B-side, extended version
A language they don't speak, a shape that's emerging
But you, not with you
[Post-Chorus]
Bring me the clouds, and I'll be the moon
Shining so bright, but only for you
[Verse 2]
You start with a stream, you end with the sea
If you give me time, I'll give you everything
If I climb a mountain, I'll never reach the top
'Cause the playing the hero is something I'm not
[Chorus]
I'm introverted, it's under the surface
My car's in accelerate, I wanna reverse it
I walk on the stage and I look for the curtain
Sometimes I wish I could be a new person
I'm a deep cut, a B-side, extended version
A language they don't speak, a shape that's emerging
But you, not with you
[Bridge]
I am the comic, the bestselling book
Flying through free fall and you are the parachute
[Outro]
Bring me the stars, I'll burn like they do
Bring me the clouds, and I'll be the moon
Shining so bright, but only for you
Only for you

I had the chorus and outro of ‘Parachute’ for months and I just couldn’t write a verse. I was adamant about finishing it myself because everything apart from one song was solely written alone in one room and I really liked that. Then Peter was like, ‘Just get in a room with Pat [writer/producer Patr...
