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 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 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, ah
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
