Timothy B. Schmit - Parachute lyrics

See that shiny plane up in the steel gray sky Going faster than the speed of sound It don't care about a thing, it just keeps pa**ing by Oblivious to everything's that down If I was on a cloud then I could hitch a ride That's how I would finally get to you I'd grab onto the wing and at the perfect time I'd open up my parachute Sailing through the sky Soaring way up high When you think you've had enough of all this living on your own And you feel you're just about to break in two When you're stuck in overdrive and you're longing for home It's time to change your attitude Open up your parachute See the raindrops pounding on my window pane Tapping out their rhythms from above They don't pay any mind to those alone within Thinkin' 'bout the ones they love Fifty-two floors up above the city lights Stranded in my temporary nest The hotel operator, she says, "Have a good night" I lay down, close my eyes, and do my best Fitful, sleepless nights Dreaming I can fly When you think you've had enough of all this living on your own And you feel you're just about to break in two When you're stuck in overdrive and you're longing for home Come down to earth and change your mood And open up your parachute Fitful, sleepless nights Dreaming I can fly When you think you've had enough of all this living on your own And you feel you're just about to break in two When you're stuck in overdrive and you're longing for home It's time to change your altitude Open up your parachute Come down to earth and change your mood Open up your parachute
