I might Icarus myself into irrelevance

Would you catch me like the ocean if I did?

Would you carry me to shore where just the night before

I was happy just to be my father's kid?

Not anymore

Was I too confident?

Am I fighting for my dream or is it his?

It's buried in my body

Everything about me

But I hope you'll remember something they'll forget

I'll lose a little bit of my cool

And I'll lose a little bit of the wind

And I'll lose a little bit of my groove

And I'll lose a little bit of my grin

And I'll lose a little bit of my home

So I try to build another within my soul

'Cuz after everything, I'm still whole

I look at myself

The way I would want my lover to look at me

I laugh at myself

Even when the sun's beating down on my waxen wings

I'm still flying

Bet you're dying to know if I've flown off the handle or not

Not yet, not yet

I might Icarus myself into irrelevance

Forget to write me down, confuse my name

With a dream they never had

Or a little bit of madness

Everybody's getting closer to the flame

I'll lose a little bit of my touch

And I'll lose a little bit of my grind

And I'll lose a little bit of the color I take into my eyes

And I'll lose a little bit of my home

So I try to build another within my mind

'Cuz after everything, it's my life

I look at myself

The way I would want my lover to look at me

I laugh at myself

Even when the sun's beating down on my waxen wings

I'm still flying

Bet you're dying to know if I've flown off the handle or not

Not yet, not yet

I'll lose a little bit of my cool

And I'll lose a little bit of the wind

And I'll lose a little bit of my groove

And I'll lose a little bit of my grin

And I'll lose a little bit of my home

So I try to build another within my soul

'Cuz after everything, I'm still whole
