Parachute

When we were young we used to play
Walking down the street strumming ukulele
Making up songs about whatever is in our heads

Never a care in the whole world
And everywhere we went we knew we were lucky
To be running free living life in paradise
Then you went your way and I went mine

As we both grew older with time, ooh
Sometimes we make all the wrong mistakes
Always showing up too late no matter how we try, oh

You fell out of time again
I'll see you I don't know when
But I will always be your friend
On that you can count

I'll be your parachute
Even when the wind no longer carries you
You can take your time cuz I'm your parachute
When you're ready to be home I'll be there with you

Ain't it funny how time flies
One day you're a child next day you're a mother
Just can't help but wonder where did all the time go
Always gave it your best try
To grab it in your hands
And never miss a moment
In fact it went so fast
Never had time to take it slow

And now you're caught up in all their games
Nothing around you feels the same, ooh
Feel like you got none to call on
Don't even have shoes on your feet
Or a nickel to your name, oh

You fell out of time again
I'll see you I don't know when
But I will always be your friend
On that you can count

I'll be your parachute
Even when the wind no longer carries you
You can take your time cuz I'm your parachute
When you're ready to be home I'll be there with you

Although we're living different lives
I'll be by your side when you need me most
And I will make the time

Fooled yourself so many times
Caught you again tellin' lies
Why are you always surprised
When things don't work out, oh
You fell out of time again
I'll see you I don't know when
But I will always be your friend
On that you can count

I'll be your parachute
Even when the wind no longer carries you
You can take your time cuz I'm your parachute
And when you're ready to be home
I'll be your parachute
Even when the wind no longer carries you
You can take your time cuz I'm your parachute
And when you're ready to be home I'll be there with you
