American Secrets - Parachute

When the sun fell low in the blood red sky

Every house called out as we passed them by

She would grab my hand as the trees leaned in

Oh I’m still racing home from the place I’ve been

It was all I knew

I was waiting for the big one

And I stayed forever

American secrets

Had a dream that was ours that we just didn’t know yet /

We would drive out through every lonely street

Smelled the truth in her hair

Felt the world at my feet

But we were just two kids in a beat up car

Oh I’m still driving home from the things I’ve done

It was all I knew

I was waiting for the big one

And I stayed forever

American secrets

Had a dream that was ours that we just didn’t know yet

American secrets

Had a dream that was ours that was lost in the regrets

We were caught on the inside

Left it all on that bedside

Give me one more minute with those baby blues.

We pull up

Oh she looks back and waves as I wait too long

I can picture her room as a light turns on

I’m still dancing alone with the way it was

I’m still dancing alone with the way it was

I’m still dancing alone with the way it was

Give me one more

Give me one more

Give me one more minute with

My baby

Give me one more

Give me one more

Give me one more minute with

American secrets

Give me one more

Give me one more

Give me one more minute with Her

Oh she looks back and waves as she slips inside

Every hope in the world in those bright blue eyes

I’m still dancing alone with the way it was

Got my mind made up

And I’m coming back for you

I can hear your voice calling and I’ll be there soon

I can see you there

In the bedroom by the stairs

Oh I’ve always been running but I don’t know where

It took 25 years but I finally see

Not the boy I was

In the car that you saw leave

But I’m still not the man that I thought I’d be

But when the trumpets sound

And the good Lord calls my name

Oh I’m gonna be with you

Oh I’m gonna be with you

It took 25 years but I finally see

It took 25 years but I finally see

It took 25 years but I finally see
