Intro: Ohhh oh oh oh ohhh ohhh ohhh oh oh oh ohhh ohhh Verse 1: Look who's digging their own grave, that is what they all say You'll drink yourself to death Look who makes their own bed, lies right down within it What will you have left? Out on the front door step, drinking from a paper cup You won't remember this Living beyond your years, acting out all their fears You feel it in your chest Your hands protect the flames, from the wild winds around you Icarus is flying to close to the sun Icarus' life, it has only just begun It's just begun ooh oh oh oh ohh ohh Verse 2: Standing on the cliff face, highest fall you'll ever grace It scares me half to death Look out to the future, but it tells you nothing So take another breath Your hands protect the flames from the wild winds around you Icarus is flying to close to the sun Icarus' life, it has only just begun This is how it feels to take a fall Icarus is flying towards an early grave Bridge: Put up your defences when you leave You leave because you're certain Of who you want to be You're putting up your armour when you leave And you leave because you're certain Of who you want to be, ohhh Icarus is flying to close to the sun Icarus' life, it has only just begun This is how it feels to take a fall Icarus is flying towards an early grave
