PARACHUTES

1. DON'T PANIC

Oh, we're sinking like stones
All that we fought for
All those places we've gone
All of us are done for

We live in a beautiful world
Yeah we do, yeah we do
We live in a beautiful world
Oh, we're sinking like stones
All that we fought for
All those places we've gone
All of us are done for

We live in a beautiful world
Yeah we do, yeah we do
We live in a beautiful world

Oh, all that I know
There's nothing here to run from
And there, everybody here's got somebody to lean on.

2. SHIVER

So I looked in your direction
But you paid me no attention, do you
I know you don't listen to me
'Cause you say you see straight through me, don't you

But on and on from the moment I wake
To the moment I sleep
I'll be there by your side
Just you try and stop me
I'll be waiting in line
Just to see if you care

Did she want me to change?
But I change for good
And I want you to know
But you always get your way
I wanted to say

Don't you shiver?
Shiver
Shiver

I'll always be waiting for you
So you know how much I need ya
But you never even see me, do you?

And this is my final chance of getting you

But on and on from the moment I wake....
'Til the moment I sleep
I'll be there by your side
Just to try and stop me
I'll be waiting in a line
Just to see if you can
If you can

Did she want me to change?
Will I change for good?
And I want you to know
That you always get your way
And I wanted to say

Don't you shiver?
Don't you shiver?
Shiver
I'll always be waiting for you

Yeah I'll always be waiting for you
Yeah I'll always be waiting for you
Yeah I'll always be waiting for you
For you
I'll always be waiting
And you have saved
But you don't save me
And should I care
So loud and so clear
I sing it loud and clear
And I'll always be waiting for you

So I look in your direction
But you pay me no attention
And you know how much I need you
But you never even seen me.

3. SPIES

I awake to find no peace of mind
I said, how do you live as a fugitive?
Down here where I cannot see so clear
I said, what do I know?
Show me the right way to go
And the spies came out of the water
But you're feeling so bad 'cause you know
But the spies hide out in every corner
But you can't touch them though
'Cause they're all spies

They're all spies

I awake to see that no one is free
We're all fugitives
Look at the way with it
Down here, I cannot sleep from fear no

I said, which way do I turn?
O, I forget everything I learn
But the spies came out of the water
But you're feeling so bad 'cause you know
But the spies hide out in every corner
But you can't touch them though
'Cause they're all spies

They're all spies

And if we don't hide here
They're going to find us
If we don't hide now
They're going to catch us where we see
And if we don't hide here
They're going to find us

But the spies came out of the water
But you're feeling so good 'cause you know
Though spies hide out in every corner
But you can't touch them though
'Cause they're all spies

They're just spies
They're just spies
They're just spies
They're just spies.

4. SPARKS

Did I drive you away?
I know what you'll say
You say, "Oh, sing one we know"
But I promise you this
I'll always look out for you
That's what I'll do

I say "oh"
I say "oh"

My heart is yours
It's you that I hold on to
That's what I do
And I know I was wrong
But I won't let you down
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah I will, yes I will

I say "oh"
I cry "oh"

Yeah I saw sparks
Yeah I saw sparks
And I saw sparks
Yeah I saw sparks
Sing it out

La, la, la, la, oh
La, la, la, la, oh
La, la, la, la, oh.

5. YELLOW

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah, they were all yellow

I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called "Yellow"

So then I took my turn
Oh what a thing to have done
And it was all "Yellow"

Your skin
Oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
You know, you know I love you so
You know I love you so

I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh what a thing to do

'Cause you were all "Yellow"
I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all "Yellow"

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
And you know for you
I'd bleed myself dry for you
I'd bleed myself dry

It's true, look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And all the things that you do.

6. TROUBLE

O no, I see
A spider web is tangled up with me
And I lost my head
The thought of all the stupid things I said

O no, what's this?
A spider web, and I'm caught in the middle
So I turned to run
The thought of all the stupid things I've done

I never meant to cause you trouble
And I never meant to do you wrong
And I, well if I ever caused you trouble
O no, I never meant to do you harm

O no, I see
A spider web and it's me in the middle
So I twist and turn
Here I am in love in a bubble

Singing, I never meant to cause you trouble
I never meant to do you wrong
And I, well if I ever caused you trouble
Although I never meant to do you harm

They spun a web for me
They spun a web for me
They spun a web for me.

7. PARACHUTES

In a haze, a stormy haze
I'll be around, I'll be loving you always, always

Here I am and I'll take my time
Here I am and I'll wait in line always, always.

8. HIGH SPEED

Can anybody fly this thing?
Before my head explodes
Or my head starts to ring

We've been living life inside a bubble
We've been living life inside a bubble

Confidence in you
Is confidence in me
Is confidence in high speed

Can anybody stop this thing?
Before my head explodes
Or my head starts to ring

We've been living life inside a bubble
We've been living life inside a bubble

Confidence in you
Is confidence in me
Is confidence in high speed

In high speed
High speed

High speed you on
High speed you on
High speed you on
High speed you on.

9. WE NEVER CHANGE

I wanna live life, never be cruel
I wanna live life, be good to you
I wanna fly, never come down
And live my life
And have friends around

We never change, do we? No, no
We never learned to leave
So I wanna live in a wooden house
I wanna live life, always be true
I wanna live life, and be good to you
I wanna fly, and never come down
And I live my life, and have friends around

We never change do we? No, no
We never learned to bleed
So I wanna live in a wooden house
Making more friends would be easy

O I don't have a show to say
Yes, and I sing of a single day
We never change do we?
We never learned to leave

So, I wanna live life in a wooden house
Making more friends would be easy
I wanna live where the sun comes out.

10. EVERYTHING'S NOT LOST

When I counted up my demons
Saw there was one for everyday
With the good ones on my shoulders
I drove the other ones away

So, if you ever feel neglected
And if you think that all is lost
I'll be counting up my demons, yeah
Hoping everything's not lost

When you thought that it was over
You could feel it all around
And everybody's out to get you
Don't you let it drag you down

'Cause if you ever feel neglected
If you think that all is lost
I'll be counting up my demons, yeah
Hoping everything's not lost

If you ever feel neglected
If you think that all is lost
I'll be counting up my demons, yeah
Hoping everything's not lost
Singing out
O yeah
O yeah
O yeah
Everything's not lost
So come on yeah, o yeah
Come on yeah
And everything's not lost
O yeah
O yeah
O yeah
And everything's not lost
So come on yeah, o yeah
Come on yeah
Come on yeah, o yeah
Come on yeah
And everything's not lost
Sing out yeah, o yeah
Come on yeah
And everything's not lost
Come on yeah, o yeah
Sing out yeah
And everything's not lost.

BONUS TRACK: LIFE IS FOR LIVING

Now I never meant
To do you wrong
That's what I came here to say
But if I was wrong
Then I'm sorry
I don't let it stand in our way
As my head just aches
When I think of
The things that I shouldn't have done
But, life is for living
We all know
And I don't wanna live it alone
Sing
Ah, ah, oh
Sing
Ah, ah, oh
And just think
Ah, ah, oh.
