"Parachute" lyrics - NINA NESBITT

NINA NESBITT
"Parachute"

I built a wall as tall as the trees
One side for them, the other for me
I spent my whole life away from the front lines
Till you came crashing through
Lost my defences, now I'm defenceless with you

[Chorus:]
I'm introverted, it's under the surface
My car's in accelerate, I wanna reverse it
I walk on the stage and I look for the curtain
Sometimes I wish I could be a new person
I'm a deep cut, a B side, extended version
A language they don't speak, a shape that's emerging
But you, not with you

[Post-Chorus:]
Bring me the clouds, and I'll be the moon
Shining so bright, but only for you

You start with a stream, you end with the sea
If you give me time, I'll give you everything
If I climb a mountain, I'll never reach the top
'Cause the playing the hero is something I'm not

[Chorus:]
I'm introverted, it's under the surface
My car's in accelerate, I wanna reverse it
I walk on the stage and I look for the curtain
Sometimes I wish I could be a new person
I'm a deep cut, a B side, extended version
A language they don't speak, a shape that's emerging
But you, not with you

[Bridge:]
I am the comic, the bestselling book
Flying through free fall and you are the parachute

[Outro:]
Bring me the stars, I'll burn like they do
Bring me the clouds, and I'll be the moon
Shining so bright, but only for you
Only for you
