Street lights along the highway Throwing shadows in the dark And the memories keep on turning To the rhythm of a broken heart You only need a roof when it's raining You only need a fire when it's cold You only need a drink when the whiskey Is the only thing that you have left to hold Sun comes up and goes back down And falling feels like flying till you hit the ground Say the word and I'll be there for you Baby, I will be your parachute Parachute There's a song that I remember I never learned to play And a lifetime of forgotten words I never got to say You only need a roof when it's raining You only need a fire when it's cold You only need a drink when the whiskey Is the only thing that you have left to hold Sun comes up and goes back down And falling feels like flying till you hit the ground Say the word and I'll be there for you Baby, I will be your parachute Parachute If you think you're going down Just know I will be around You only need a roof when it's raining You only need a fire when it's cold You only need a drink when the whiskey Is the only thing that you have left to hold Sun comes up and goes back down And falling feels like flying till you hit the ground Say the word and I'll be there for you Baby, I will be your Baby I will be your parachute Parachute
