Parachute

Awake from a dream
One that started as a nightmare
Like a war so extreme
It erased itself from memory
Here's where I jumped
From the airplane without questioning it
The curve of the coast of Los Angeles
Spreading itself below
And blooming overhead
The parachute
I've got to trust it now, ohh-oh
Change in the wind
And I'm drifting from the crescent
Pulled farther out
From the shore than where I can swim to it
And blooming overhead
The parachute
I've got to trust it now, ohh-oh
Closing in on the sparkle of the waves
Go on, take me
It will feel like going home
Go one, take me
I'm not afraid to drown
What is this
Pulling me back the other way
To strip malls, highways, and treetops
Landing on the soft ground
