Icarus

See through the smoke
Just a card in play that she wrote my name on
Breathing in the cold
How could she throw me away? At least wait 'til I have wings on

You know, I kissed her once and she smiled
She'll never see the boy falling out of the sky

It took me all I had to turn away from this one
Thought I'd take my chances, I was blinded, I was young
But then all at once, I was back to where I begun
I was burned by the morning, I got too close to the sun

She said, "Your feathers fit just right
You're a fool, you're a climber, you should've called it a night"
Well, it turns out (it turns out), I turned out fine (turned out fine)
So better luck next time, I'm Icarus ascending

You know, I kissed her once and she smiled
She'll never see the boy falling out of the sky

It took me all I had to turn away from this one
Thought I'd take my chances, I was blinded, I was young
But then all at once, I was back to where I begun
I was burned by the morning, I got too close to the sun

She'll never know I was falling, falling, oh
I got too close to the sun

It took me all I had to turn away from this one
Thought I'd take my chances, I was blinded, I was in love
But then all at once, I was back to where I begun
I was burned by the morning, I got too close to the sun
I got too close to the sun
