All my lessons are in the bag
These defenses are all I have
I'll make it simple because that's my style
I take my math rock in 4/4 time

Just because I'm scared to
Doesn't mean I'm scared of you
I always wear this parachute

I'm paralytic, mired in thought
I'd love to bring it like it should be brought
There's so much tension it hurts to try
Electric fencing for an acoustic guy

Just because I'm scared to
Doesn't mean I'm scared of you
I always wear this parachute

If I were brave, I'd take my chances
Dive right in and face what happens
I thought I'd be safe, but now I'm in too deep

Just because I'm scared to
Doesn't mean I'm scared of you
I always wear this parachute
