Sean Lennon – Parachute Lyrics 16 years ago
The last time the chorus repeats, aren't the lyrics actually
"'Cause if I have to die tonight
I'd rather it was you" ?
I think this song is about being with someone, but liking someone else, and having a love/hate relationship with that person. "I'd rather be with you" implies being with a certain person in place of another, and "I'd rather it was you" implies that he wants that person to die (hence the love/hate relationship). And, of course, it's all about the risk.
"The lucky ones remain in the clouds for days"
