Parachute Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Still at home
And my mom would call me
Down the street
Through the trees
And I'd run back towards that sound
Where I knew that love was waiting
Chased a dream
Never second guessed it
On the run
Didn't stop
Saw the edge and had to jump
I still feel like I'm the same kid
So why's the mirror say I'm not?
Oh baby
Seems we're only getting older lately
And I think I'm scared that maybe
After all this growing up
I'm only good at being young
Good at being young
Packed a car
Moved away
Met the girl of my dreams
I've never been happier
But I still don't have a clue
Time won't tell you when it's leaving
You just look up and it's gone
Oh baby
Seems we're only getting older lately
And I think I'm scared that maybe
After all this growing up
I'm only good at being young
Good at being young
But I'll hold on to that feeling cause you never know
No, you never know
Maybe none of us were ever meant to let it go
Never let it go
Oh baby
Seems we're only getting older lately
And I think I'm scared that maybe
After all this growing up
I'm only good, yeah
Oh baby
Why'd it feel like I was never changing?
And I'm just terrified that maybe
After all this growing up
I'm only good at being young
The song "Young" by Parachute gives us a glimpse into the artist's personal journey of growing up, leaving home, taking risks, and falling in love. The song begins with nostalgia as the artist reflects on memories of his childhood, where he would hear his mother call him home and run back towards the sound where he knew love was waiting. This directly connects to the title of the song and suggests that the artist believes he was good at being young.
The second verse talks about the artist's decision to leave home and chase his dreams. He took a flight, didn't think twice, and jumped at the opportunity, and now he's living his dream. However, he still feels like the same kid and wonders why his reflection in the mirror shows a different image. Perhaps the artist is reflecting on the fear of losing the sense of himself and the memories of the past as he grows up. The chorus repeats twice, where the artist admits that he might only be good at being young and is terrified of not knowing who he is becoming.
In the final verse, the artist reveals that he has met the girl of his dreams, and he has never been happier, but he still wonders where the time has gone. He doesn't know when time will run out, and everything will be gone. The bridge reassures that the artist still holds on to that feeling of being young as he realizes that maybe nobody was meant to let go of their inner child.
Line by Line Meaning
I was young
At one point in time, I was young
Still at home
At that time, I still lived with my parents
And my mom would call me
My mother would call out to me
Down the street
My mother's voice would travel down the street
Through the trees
I could hear her voice even through the trees
And I'd run back towards that sound
I ran towards the sound of her voice
Where I knew that love was waiting
I knew that my loving family would be waiting for me
Caught a flight
I took a flight to go somewhere new
Chased a dream
I pursued my goals and aspirations
Never second guessed it
I had complete confidence in my decision
On the run
I was always moving forward
Didn't stop
I kept going no matter what
Saw the edge and had to jump
I took a risk even though it was scary
I still feel like I'm the same kid
Despite my experiences, I still feel like a child at heart
So why's the mirror say I'm not?
I don't understand why I look so different now that I've grown up
Seems we're only getting older lately
It feels like time is passing by quickly and we're all getting older
And I think I'm scared that maybe
I'm afraid that I won't be good at anything except being young
After all this growing up
Despite all the things I've experienced as an adult
I'm only good at being young
I'm only good at enjoying my younger days
Packed a car
I loaded up my car to move to a new place
Moved away
I left my hometown behind
Met the girl of my dreams
I met the love of my life
I've never been happier
I'm currently experiencing my greatest happiness
But I still don't have a clue
Despite my happiness, I still don't know what I'm doing with my life
Time won't tell you when it's leaving
You never know when a good thing will come to an end
You just look up and it's gone
Sometimes things end suddenly and unexpectedly
But I'll hold on to that feeling cause you never know
I'll try to savor the good times while they last
Maybe none of us were ever meant to let it go
Perhaps we should all try to hold onto our youthful spirit
Why'd it feel like I was never changing?
I'm confused as to why I still feel like a child despite my experiences
And I'm just terrified that maybe
I'm scared that I won't be able to mature and grow up
I'm only good at being young
I'm only really good at enjoying my youth

I was young, still at home
And my mum would call me
Down the street through the trees
And I'd run back towards that sound
Where I knew that love was waiting
Caught a flight, chased a dream
Never second guessed it
On the run, didn’t stop
Saw the edge and had to jump
I still feel like I'm the same kid
So why's the mirror say I’m not
Ooh, baby
Seems we're only getting older lately, ooh
And I think I'm scared that maybe
After all this growing up
I'm only good at being young
Good at being young
I'm only good at being young
Packed a car, moved away
Met the girl of my dreams, I
Never been happier
But I still don't have a clue
Time won't tell you when it's leaving
You just look up and it’s gone
Ooh, baby
Seems we’re only getting older lately, ooh
And I think I'm scared that maybe
After all this growing up
I’m only good at being young
Good at being young
I'm only good at being young
Good at being young
I'm only good at being young
But I'll hold on to that feeling
’Cause you never know
No, you never know
Maybe none of us were ever meant
To let it go
Never let it go
Ooh, baby
Seems we're only getting older lately, ooh
And I think I'm scared that maybe
After all this growing up
I'm only good yeah
Ooh, baby
Why'd it feel like I was never changing? Ooh
And I'm just terrified that maybe
After all this growing up, oh oh
I'm only good at being young
I'm only good at being young
I'm only good at being young
I'm only good at being young
I'm only good at being young

Life is what you make it. Adults choose to be 'old', age is only a mindset.

This song is just making me feel so emotional and nostalgic. As a guy who's in the beginning of his 20's — beginning of adulthood, when tough times comes in, it just makes you think how much you've come as a person. Sometimes we remember the good old times of our childhood and teenage days where everyday felt ecstatic. I guess it's true that you will appreciate more of those days when it's all done, when it's all passed. We can't do anything about it anyway and turn back. So we face reality and our responsibilities — reminding ourselves that we really had a good life in our youth and we must continue it in adulthood no matter how shitty this life could be 💕✨.

@tkdunn I couldn't agree more!

AJ Gildo Here is my perspective - not that you ask for it ;) There were some great days when I was growing up, but let’s be honest, growing up is no picnic. Teenage years are tough, twenties are tough and your thirties are killer. I didn’t really feel I started living until I turned 40 - and that was sixteen years ago 😳 The older you get, the less stuff bothers you and the less you care what other people think (it’s so liberating). That said, getting older takes preparation, so don’t eat junk, stay in shape, start yoga, maybe give up booze and learn something new... Remember, youth culture is mainly a marketing ploy to get you to buy crap - don’t fall for it... 😉
