Lyrics
0:03See through the smoke
0:09Just a card in play
0:12That you wrote my name on
0:16Breathing in the cold
0:21How could she throw me away?
0:25At least wait till I have wings on
0:28You know I kissed her once
0:31And she smiled
0:34She'll never see
0:35The boy falling out of the sky
0:40It took me all I had
0:44To turn away from this one
0:47Thought I'd take my chances
0:50I was blinded I was young
0:53But then all at once
0:56I was back to where I begun
0:59I was burned by morning
1:02I got too close to the sun
1:12She said
1:12"Your feathers fit just right
1:18You're a fool you're a climber
1:22You should've called it a night"
1:25Well it turns out
1:26It turns out
1:27I turned out fine
1:29Turned out fine
1:31So better luck next time
1:34I'm Icarus ascending
1:37You know I kissed her once
1:41And she smiled
1:43She'll never see
1:44The boy falling out of the sky
1:49It took me all I had
1:53To turn away from this one
1:56Thought I'd take my chances
1:59I was blinded I was young
2:02But then all at once
2:06I was back to where I begun
2:09I was burned by the morning
2:12I got too close to the sun
2:16She'll never know
2:18I was falling
2:22Falling
2:31I got too close to the sun
2:35It took me all I had
2:39To turn away from this one
2:42Thought I'd take my chances
2:45I was blinded I was in love
2:48But then all at once
2:51I was back to where I begun
2:55I was burned by morning
2:57I got too close to the sun
3:04I got too close to the sun
See through the smoke Just a card in play That you wrote my name on Breathing in the cold How could she throw me away? At least wait till 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 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 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 morning I got too close to the sun I got too close to the sun
