"Icarus" lyrics
Mumford & Sons & Gigi Perez Lyrics
"Icarus"
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

Bon Iver - "re: Stacks" This my excavation and today is Qumran
Everything that happens is from now on
This is pouring rain
This is paralyzed
I keep throwing it down two-hundred at a time
It's hard to find it when you knew...
Caamp - "The Otter" I am floating in deep water
Like the unfamiliar otter
In love with someone's daughter
I'm going to lose float
And I know that I love her
For the stars and all they cover
Have told me of no other...
Noah Rinker - "Wherever I Go" Do you think about me when you look at the moon?
I hate to admit I still care about you
It's been a long time since I've heard you speak
And you never saw who I turned out to be
And I know you...
