Parachute
Petit Biscuit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Counting down three, two, one
I′m falling in the burning sun
Up in that lavender sky
On this free-fall parachute jump
40 thousand feet no cloud
I'm falling at the speed of sound
Not sure that I will survive
On this free-fall parachute jump

Yesterday I made all the same mistakes
Yesterday I swore I′d change
I'm living in my head I'm on the shelf
I don′t want no five-star prison cell
And I told myself, Petit made a promise
I got a little good, making little problems
Here I go again
To the blue for ten, yeah

Counting down three, two, one
I′m falling in the burning sun
Up in that lavender sky
On this free fall parachute jump
40 thousand feet no cloud
I'm falling at the speed of sound
Not sure that I will survive
On this free fall parachute jump

Pulling me down
All the way down
I quit, I′m outta here
Into open air
Only way out
Get too high to drown
I quit, I'm outta here
Into open air

Pulling me down
(Counting down three, two, one)
All the way down
(I′m falling in the burning sun)
Only way out
Get too high to drown
I quit, I'm outta here
Into open air

Counting down three, two, one
I′m falling in the burning sun
Up in that lavender sky
On this free-fall parachute jump
40 thousand feet no cloud
I'm falling at the speed of sound
Not sure that I will survive
On this free-fall parachute jump

Pulling me down
All the way down
I quit, I'm outta here
Into open air
Only way out
Get too high to drown
I quit, I′m outta here
Into open air

Counting down three, two, one
I′m falling in the burning sun
Up in that lavender sky
On this free-fall parachute jump
40 thousand feet no cloud
I'm falling at the speed of sound
Not sure that I will survive
On this free-fall parachute jump
