forgot my parachute   left it on the plane   and i fell head first down   into tennessee   beside a tiny house   resting on a lake   in a church town dying   for heaven's sake   but i was alive    when you came to the door   you smiled at me   and pulled me up from the floor   when i made that jump   i was aware that the iron ground   could be waiting in there   to welcome me with its death embrace   but as i screamed south   i pictured your face   and though i fell hard   i knew how to land   just closed my eyes   and reached out my hands   let go of everything   that i couldn't stand   about myself and my scattered plans   and as soon as i stood up   we laid right back down   in the most comfortable bed   in the entire town   but we couldn't cry   about anything   and the smiles of our silence   whispered in harmony:   i love you, and i won't stop.
