[Verse 1]
            
Awake from a d

ream
            
One that start

        
ed as a nightm

are
             
Like a war so 

  
extreme
            
It erased itse

        
lf from memory
             
Here's where I

 
 jumped
            
From the aerop

             
lane without q


uestioning it
             
The curve of t

             
he coast of Lo

  
s Angeles
          
Spreading itse

lf below


[Chorus]
             
And blooming o

       
verhead, the p

arachute
           
I've got to tr

             
ust it now, oh


[Verse 2]
             
Change in the 


wind
            
And I'm drifti

            
ng from the cr

escent
             
Pulled farther

 
 out
            
From the shore

              
 than where I 

    
can swim to it


[Chorus]
             
And blooming o

       
verhead, the p

arachute
           
I've got to tr

             
ust it now, oh

[Outro]
             
Closing in on 

    
the sparkle of

 the waves
           
Go on, take me

             
, it will feel

             
 like going ho

      
me
           
Go on, take me

            
, I'm not afra

id to drown
        
What is this, 

           
pulling me bac

          
k the other wa

y
           
To strip malls

             
, highways, an

              
d treetops
           
Landing on the

         
 soft ground
