cat ridgeway - parachute lyrics

[verse 1]
there’s a man who lives on my roof
and he thinks i don’t know, here is the truth
i just let it go, ’cause i know he’s got no home,he’s free to roam
i will admit at first, i thought he would run in and steal things but no
he just taught me how to live, how to sing, and how to be free
the first day he exemplified this, he caught me at the door, stopped me and said “miss, are you doing okay today?”
i looked up from where my feet met the street, smiled
and said, “yeah, i guess. if you don’t mind me asking, why do you ask?”

[chorus]
and he said, “girl, you’re moving too fast
it seems like it’s been five years
but honestly only five minutes have p-ssed
take a step back, look at where i’m at
i’ve got nothing but i’ve got more than you
so go ahead and open up your parachute
slow down so you can clearly see the view.”

[verse 2]
i took the bars off the windows of my house
realizing they’d been used to lock me in
rather than to keep harm out
living out each and every day, crossing off the calendar late
’cause i don’t want one minute to go to waste
i fall asleep to the footsteps above
coming from the man who symbolizes love to me
now united, our hearts are free

[bridge]
i learned to slow down, and watched my life level out
thanks to him, no doubt
i learned to spread peace, and equality, ’cause what else do you need?

[chorus]
and i said to myself, “girl you used to move too fast
it’d seem like it’d been five years
but honestly only five minutes have p-ssed
take a step back, look at where you’re at
you’ve got nothing, but now there’s nothing to lose
so go ahead and open up your parachute
slow down so you can clearly see the view.”
