Oh oh
Oh
Look who's digging their own grave
That is what they all say
You'll drink yourself to death
Now who makes their own bed
Lies right down within it
And what will you have left
Out on the front doorstep
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 too close to the sun
Icarus' life it has only just begun just begun
Oh
Standing on the cliff face
Highest for your ever grace
It scares me half to death
Look into 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 too close to the sun
Icarus is life it is only just begun
And this is how it feels to take a fall
Icarus you're falling towards an early grave
You put up your defenses
When you leave and 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 what you want to be oh
Icarus is flying too close to the sun
And icarus is life it is only just begun
If this is how it feels to take a fall
Icarus your life it has only just begun
Oh oh oh
Oh
Oh oh oh
