Icarus

Darling, you're the sweetest wine, I want to taste you all the time
I'll pour myself down the drain
You're still my favorite cigarette, the taste of you I won't forget
I'll breathe in till my lungs deflate

I could send you different postcards every time I leave the state
I would walk a thousand miles through hell just to see your face

But I fly too close to the sun
A tragic tale, my wax wings start to run
We're broken parts of bleeding hearts
I'll love you till my breathing stops
I fly too close to the sun
Please don't run
Please don't run

Darling, you're a storm in August, summer heat, air sticks upon us
I'll drown myself in the rain
Dearest, you're a sun-drenched kiss in ocean air, on salt-stained lips
I'll dissolve into the shore

I could write ten-thousand songs about how you're the one I adore
I would scale the rooftops, sail the seas to stand outside your door

But I fly too close to the sun
A tragic tale, my wax wings start to run
We're broken parts of bleeding hearts
I'll love you till my breathing stops
I fly too close to the sun
Please don't run
Please don't run

But I fly too close to the sun
A tragic tale, my wax wings start to run
We're broken parts of bleeding hearts
I'll love you till my breathing stops
I fly too close to the sun
Please don't run
Please don't run
