one of the very few PJ songs i HATE!!! i got to see it live the first time they ever did it (in Boston) but that didn't mean anything since i HATE it!!!

i don't like to identify myself as a hater for many things....i'll just say i dislike it immensely. the lyrics read wonderfully, i just dislike the music. a lot. however, there is only a handful of pj songs that i at all feel this way about, and given the size of their catalogue....i think it's awesome that most i LOVE, i LIKE a LOT....and just a wee few, dislike immensely.
I have always loved this song , i hope they play it in Chicago!!!! The rest of the album is great as well!!! :P

I like this one. I'd be lying if I said I needed to hear it every day, though. I am not a big fan of Comatose.

I like the music of the song but have never been that stoked on Eds lyrics for this one. I feel like he could have spent some more time creating stronger lyrical content for such a lovely melody.

Really?!? I'd put those lyrics among the best Ed has ever done. I don't even feel like I'm being silly or melodramatic saying that.

Why deny all the troubles when combined
With the missing links it don\'t feel like home now
That your gone all the troubles suddenly explained infinitum
You\'re always wishing and never here at home
You all the dreams we shared and
lights we turned on
but the house is getting dark
and I don\'t want to know your past
but together share the dawn
and I won\'t need nothing else
cause when we\'re dead
we would\'ve had it all and died
I would\'ve fallen from the sky til you
Parachutes have opened now
Heaven knows if there\'s a ceiling
Come so low with the kneeling
Please know that I got all the friends I\'m needing
Before my light go out
As the doors are closing now
And far away will be my home
And to grasp this, I don\'t know
But I don\'t need
Further back and forth, a wave will break on me today
And love
Wish the world could glow again with love
One can\'t seem to have enough
And war
Break the sky and tell me what it\'s for
I\'ll travel there on my own
And love
What a different life
Had I not found this love with you
OK.... not bad at all. Especially after a quick read ... and this always happens... its like a wonderful poem.
I take half of my statement back. They are pretty good.
Honestly I really do like this song a lot... especially the music. Why would or could anyone hate Parachutes of all PJ songs.
I really, really like - hell, practically love Parachutes. The music and lyrics are both very cool. I'll admit it took me a little while when Avocado first came out for me to get it, but since then it's been one of my favorite on the album. Comatose did the opposite for me - loved it at first, now I usually skip it.

I'll tell you what I hate. Evacuation.
Worry could be strength, with a plan
I love that line.

im a known hater of the second half of Avocado, but for some reason i liked this song from the start.
i think its a fun little trippy song.
I find it odd that anyone could appreciate this song and not The Fixer. But yeah, I like this tune. The album pretty much goes downhill for me after this one.
Comments
i quite like it myself.
for her to come home
eyes upon the horizon
in the dark before the
darkness leaves the dawn
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
i think its a fun little trippy song.
i don't like to identify myself as a hater for many things....i'll just say i dislike it immensely.
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
