Lyrics
0:23Ideas hang before me
0:27Oh but a breath away
0:32They flicker into being
0:36And then begin to fade
0:45And when I'm tired of sitting
0:49I drag my bones to bed
0:54And when I'm tired of sleeping
0:59I think of them instead
1:03They're only words
1:07Don't have to shout to be heard
1:14I have not seen the light for days
1:36Like Icarus before me
1:40These wings are not my own
1:45And I am soaring skyward
1:50Just to tumble home
1:53Moment has gone
1:57I'm not the best at moving on
2:05I have not seen the light for days
2:46I have not seen the light for days
3:02I have not seen the light for days
3:17And nights
3:22For days
Ideas hang before me Oh but a breath away They flicker into being And then begin to fade And when I'm tired of sitting I drag my bones to bed And when I'm tired of sleeping I think of them instead They're only words Don't have to shout to be heard I have not seen the light for days Like Icarus before me These wings are not my own And I am soaring skyward Just to tumble home Moment has gone I'm not the best at moving on I have not seen the light for days I have not seen the light for days I have not seen the light for days And nights For days
