Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[PreChorus]
You know I kissed her once
And she smiled
She'll never see
The boy falling out of the sky
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[PreChorus]
You know I kissed her once
And she smiled
She'll never see
The boy falling out of the sky
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
She'll never know
I was falling
Falling
[Chorus]
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
