Parachute

We are not ready to jump freely these are giant baby steps that we are taking
We are vocabularizing our feelings about sex and our love making
There are random bits of information flying round our heads that we’re mistaking
For the truth that feigns affection just to cover up for all that its been faking

And I don’t know how to love you
And I truly wish I did
I truly wish I didn’t have the heart of a ten year old kid
But that might always be my problem that my heart just doesn’t see
A really really good thing when it stands in front of me

CHORUS
And so we sit up and talk about love like it’s the only thing we’d need
To turn this sketchy ‘Don’t know’ into a ‘firm indeed’
And the words they fall out of our mouths like the excuse knew its route
Like the guy who jumps out of a plane but always with a parachute

So we sit inside the cockpit and climb ten thousand feet above our mis-communicating
With a constant flow of oxygen to ease the constant pain of our heart aching
Cos we are not ready to jump freely these are giant baby steps that we are taking
But a leap of faith is all its gonna take us to survive the fall that follows real love making

Cos I don’t know how to love you
And I truly wish I did
I truly wish I didn’t have the heart of a ten year old kid
But that might always be my problem that my heart just doesn’t see
A really really good thing when it stands in front of me

And so we sit up and talk about love like it’s the only thing we’d need
To turn this sketchy ‘Don’t know’ into a ‘firm indeed’
And the words they fall out of our mouths like the excuse knew its route
Like the guy who jumps out of a plane but always with a parachute
