[Verse 1]
Old man in a dark little room
Drawin' lines in the midnight gloom
Crete on his back like a ball and chain
Prayin' up high
Callin' Jove by name
He said
"Build me a road where the road ain't run"
Feathers on the floor
Little drops of sun
Thread and wax in a trembling hand
Gonna lift my boy to the promised land

[Chorus]
Too close to the sun
Boy
Don't you run (ahh-ahh)
Stay right beside me
Fly low
Fly low
Too close to the sun
What have you done? (yeah)
Wings made of wishing can't take that glow
Oh Icarus
Icarus
Why'd you let the warm wind blow?

[Verse 2]
He strapped those dreams to his only child
Said "Easy now
Don't go wild"
Kissed his hair
Took one last glance
Stepped off the cliff
Into second chance
They rose
Higher than the watchmen's eyes
Over Minos
Over lies
Father's voice trailin' in the blue
"Son
That sky ain't made for you"

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
[low vocal register] I said
"Love will keep you safe up there"
But love can't cool a burning air
[backing vocals: call and response]
"Come back
Come back" — he just laughed
"I'm free"
White spray below
Gold fire above
I lost my boy to the thing he loved

[Chorus]
