Lyrics

Icarus

Like a plane,i'm high up

Watch me go higher

I'm sitting high up on a wire

Here i come your way, why oh why?

Eyes see it, wide open

They're sparkling like gold

Hear you calling, oh ayyy

Oh for you i'm getting close

Higher oh ayy oh

Higher oh ayy oh

I'm sitting high up on a wire

Here i come your way, why oh why?

Go to flame,if they will (hold me?)

Everything that may (have?)

Oh lure me down, scold me

I want all that i can take

High up ohhh

High up ohhh

I'm sitting high up on a wire

Here i come your way, why oh why?
