"Icarus" lyrics - MUMFORD & SONS

[Verse 1: Mumford & Sons]
See through the smoke
Just a card in play
That she wrote my name on
Breathing in the cold
How could she throw me away
At least wait 'til I have wings on

[Pre-Chorus: Mumford & Sons]
You know I kissed her once
And she smiled
She'll never see the boy falling out of the sky

[Chorus: Mumford & Sons]
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

[Verse 2: Mumford & Sons, Gigi Perez]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Mumford & Sons, Both]
You know I kissed her once
And she smiled
She'll never see the boy falling out of the sky

[Chorus: Mumford & Sons, Both]
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

[Bridge: Mumford & Sons, Both]
She'll never know
I was falling, falling, ah
I got too close to the sun

[Chorus: Mumford & Sons, Both]
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 the morning
I got too close to the sun
I got too close to the sun
