Parachute On the Ground

In skydiving, you jump out a plane from thousands of feet in the air Headed straight for the ground your only trust and savior is the parachute you’re wearing on your back Skydiving is the physical representation of being in love Looking down from the plane as you float higher and higher away from the ground The plane represents our relationship Something we said we’d do for a long time but never had the courage too before Something we both hopped into with the trust and excitement of adventure running through our veins Something we knew together would take us higher And higher we went Flying off the love you and I share It was time to jump Or it should of been We were partners Giving each other courage through our fears Having comfort knowing we were in this together Wishful thinking landing is safely in the ground That was the plan Somewhere on the way up I looked down Seeing how high up I was panic crept in Instead of trusting you with my worries I distracted myself from my fears I began to fail you Excitement radiating from your pores you reassure my acceptance Multiple times to tell you Not wanting to ruin our adventure I keep it all inside We are finally here It’s time to jump Lost in my distraction I’m not aware I’m pushing you away No parachute on your back I was supposed to be your safety You’re falling Watching you drop I notice both arms stretched out in front of me palms up Unintentionally I pushed you My actions pushed you out of our relationship Watching you fall made my heart scream Parachute on my back I jump I make my way back to you fast I can save us All you have to do is trust me and grab my hands You don’t You just look at me I see the pain in your eyes I see the weakness in my deceit I will catch you baby Together we will fall safely like planned I know you don’t trust me I will grab you and pull the string Our parachute will sour and once again we’ll be floating
