Tangled parachute Lyrics

We could be so good, and we could be so sad

No one could deny the electricity

But the main thing we sparked was our own misery

Our friends would wonder why – we didn't let it die

Like Sid and Nancy, we broke up a hundred times

Cut right through our lives like that old hunting knife

Sometimes one and one just equals run

We're like a tangled parachute

Failed brakes on the motorway

A loaded gun in the nursery

You could tell how that was gonna play out

But it wasn't me, and it wasn't you

Just a combination of the two

I could still be too good to be true

To someone else than you.

Love was in our eyes – but only for a while

Too soon, the moon would shade your face and darken it

The gravity would pull my mouth down bit by bit

Left me in no doubt – the only way was out

There's a price to pay for sleeping with the enemy

I know for sure it did bring out the beast in me

Sometimes one and one just equals run

We're like a tangled parachute

Failed brakes on the motorway

A loaded gun in the nursery

You could tell how that was gonna play out

But it wasn't me, and it wasn't you

Just a combination of the two

I could still be too good to be true

To someone else, then you.

They say love is blind, so we couldn't see; there never was a you and me

The thing that kept us in was all made up of toxic chemistry

A perfect match, but made in hell, we fell apart and just as well,

It always ends with a smoking gun, when one and one just equals run

We're like a tangled parachute

Failed brakes on the motorway

A loaded gun in the nursery

You could tell how that was gonna play out

But it wasn't me, and it wasn't you

Just a combination of the two

You could still be the girl in a dream

To someone else than me
