Parachute - American Secrets lyrics

rate me

When the sun set low in the blood red sky, yeah

Every house called out as we passed them by, yeah

She would grab my hand as the trees leaned in, yeah

Oh I'm still racing home from the place I've been

It was all I knew

I was waiting for the big one

And I stayed forever

Oh, oh, American secrets

I dreamed it was ours

That we just didn't know yet

We would drive out through every lonely street, yeah

Smell the truth in hear hair, felt the world at my feet, yeah

But we were just two kids in a beat-up car

Oh I'm still driving home from the things I've done

It was all I knew

I was waiting for the big one

And I stayed forever

Oh, oh, American secrets

I dreamed it was ours

That we just didn't know yet

Oh, oh, American secrets

I dreamed it was ours

That was lost in the regrets

We were caught on the inside

Left it all on that bedside

Give me one more minute with those baby blues

We pulled up

Oh, she looks back in ways as I wait too long

I can picture her room as the lights turn on

I'm still dancing alone with the way it was

I'm still dancing alone with the way it was

Give me one more, give me one more

Give me one more minute with my baby

(Oh, oh)

Give me one more, give me one more

Give me one more minute with American secrets

(Oh, oh)

Give me one more, give me one more

Oh she looks back in ways as she slips inside

Every hope in the world in those bright blue eyes

I'm still dancing alone with the way it was

Got my mind made up

And I'm coming back for you

I can hear your voice calling and I'll be there soon

I can see you there

In the bedroom by the stairs

Oh, I've always been running but I don't know where

And oh, and oh

It took twenty-five years but I finally see

Not the boy I was

In the car that you saw leave

But I'm still not the man that I thought I'd be

But when those trumpets sound

When the good Lord calls my name

Oh, I'm gonna be with you, oh I'm gonna be with you

And oh, and oh

It took twenty-five years but I finally see

And oh, and oh

It took twenty-five years but I finally see

It took twenty-five years but I finally see

It took twenty-five years but I think I see
