Parachutes (funeral Song) Lyrics - Mates Of State

Twenty-five seconds to live and I'm falling down 

There the darling goes, magnetics that are pulling her down 

Twenty-five seconds to live and I'm waving high 

All this white's a thrill 

Turning just to give us the sign 

And what I never had were pictures passing by 

Forces that make your way down 

And what I had between the things I never tried 

Was you reaching out in hopes that you could grab 

Forces that make your way down 

I'd say that's better 'cause at least I know you tried 

At least I know you tried 

Twenty-five seconds to live and I'm falling down 

There the darling goes, whipping out her funeral song 

Twenty-five seconds to live and I'm waving high 

Now he cuts to go, deciding just to trade it all in 

And what I never had were pictures flashing by 

Forces that make your way down 

But what I had between the things I never tried 

Was you reaching out in hopes to hold your hand 

Forces that make your way down 

I'd say I'm better 'cause I lived before I died 

At least I know you tried
