Timothy B. Schmit - Parachute Lyrics

I see that shiny plane up in the steel gray sky
Movin’ faster than the speed of sound
It don’t care about a thing, it just keeps passing by
Oblivious to everything that’s 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 on to the wing and at the perfect time
I’d open up my parachute….
Sail--ing thru the sky…..Soar---ing way up high
Chorus:
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…And open up your parachute

See the raindrops pounding on my windowpane
Tapping out their rhythms from above
They don’t pay any mind to those alone within…thinking ‘bout the ones they love
And 52 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
Fit--full sleepless nights…dream--in’ I can fly
Chorus:
When you think you’ve had enough of all this living on your own
And you feel you’re just a-bout to break in two
When you’re stuck in overdrive and you’reAnd you’re longing for home…
Come down to earth and change your mood….Open up your parachute
(Instrumental Break)
Fit--full sleepless nights…dream--in’ I can fly
Chorus:
When you think you’ve had enough of all this living on your own
And you feel you’re just a-bout to break in two
When you’re stuck in overdrive and you’re longing for home…
It’s time to change your altitude….and open up your parachute
Come down to earth and change your mood….hey, open up your parachute…..
