Don't try to figure me out
Don't try you'll only fail
I'm not a reed in the sand
You're already starting to pale
Everyone's gone for the summer again
Something is building , I don't understand
A hummingbird larks in my hand
But I'm too busy chasing parades
To ever love you the same
Just breathe
he's going away
[ Lyrics from: http://www.5lyrics.com/lyrics/rachael_yamagata/parade.html ]
Pack up your jacket and shoes
Kiss all my friends one more time
Don't take a minute on paintings you see
There's a curtain on the blinds
Peeking is stealing the life you don't share
There's a map of a memory, of us over there
Dangerous questions are near
I'm too busy chasing parades
To love you the same
Just breathe
I'm going away
and I......
I......
I......
