mates of state - parachutes (funeral song)

Twenty-five seconds to live and I'm falling down

There the darling goes, magnetics that are pulling her down

Twenty-five seconds to live and I'm waving high

All this white's a thrill

Turning just to give us the sign

And what I never had were pictures passing by

Forces that make your way down

And what I had between the things I never tried

Was you reaching out in hopes that you could grab

Forces that make your way down

I'd say that's better 'cause at least I know you tried

At least I know you tried

Twenty-five seconds to live and I'm falling down

There the darling goes, whipping out her funeral song

Twenty-five seconds to live and I'm waving high

Now he cuts to go, deciding just to trade it all in

And what I never had were pictures flashing by

Forces that make your way down

But what I had between the things I never tried

Forces that make your way down

I'd say I'm better 'cause I lived before I died

At least I know you tried
