lyrics

You wake up in the morning to a sad commute
But the route's familiar and you're resolute
And your compact discs keep you brave

You've got a lot of meaningless work to produce
There are people at the office you'd like to shoot
Maybe my smile makes it a little less gray

I must confess you look too damn cute
In your bright blue dress and your big black boots
So excuse me if I'm a little aloof
I'm just trying to find the right words to say

Let's go up to the roof
We've got some truths to deduce
And some lips to let loose

In your business, swimming, workout or birthday suit
Let's stop wasting time, it's getting late

We're fire, water, fool, and bullet proof
But under our clothes we keep parachutes
In case we may need to escape

We're bigger than the bruises, and taboos, and the booze
Let's refuse to abuse the clues that ring true
Let's use this new view to lose these overdue blues
If we trust each other we might just pull through

Let's go up to the roof
Deduce some truths, let our hair hang loose

The sky is bright and the night feels right
At this height
We don't need no excuse

If we bury our fears and hold on tight
In the morning light we might take flight

Cause we're fire, water, fool, and bullet proof
I don't think we'll need these parachutes tonight

We're not gonna need these parachutes tonight
No, we're not gonna need these parachutes

We don't need no parachutes...

Tyler Taylor Boulder, Colorado

Hi, I'm Tyler. You may know me from my band, The Amends. I'm pretty sure you must if you've found your way here. I made this site so that I could have a place to quietly share my older songs (ones I mostly wrote before founding The Amends with Drew) with anyone who's interested. I recorded and played these myself, so forgive the varying sound quality. All songs are technically free. ... more
