Icarus Lyrics - Bastille

1 Look who's digging their own grave

2 That is what they all say

3 You'll drink yourself to death

4 Look who makes their own bed

5 Lies right down within it

6 And what will you have left?

7 Out on the front doorstep

8 Drinking from a paper cup

9 You won't remember this

10 Living beyond your years

11 Acting out all their fears

12 You feel it in your chest

13 Your hands protect the flames

14 From the wild winds around you

15 Icarus is flying too close to the sun

16 And Icarus's life, it has only just begun

17 It's just begun

18 Standing on the cliff face

19 Highest fall you'll ever grace

20 It scares me half to death

21 Look out to the future

22 But it tells you nothing

23 So take another breath

24 Your hands protect the flames

25 From the wild winds around you

26 Icarus is flying too close to the sun

27 And Icarus's life, it has only just begun

28 And this is how it feels to take a fall

29 Icarus is flying towards an early grave

30 You put up your defences when you leave

31 You leave because you're certain

32 Of who you want to be

33 You're putting up your armour when you leave

34 And you leave because you're certain

35 Of who you want to be, oh

36 Icarus is flying too close to the sun

37 And Icarus's life, it has only just begun

38 This is how it feels to take a fall

39 Icarus is flying towards an early grave
