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
