Icarus Lyrics by ​The K’s

I Wonder If The World Knows? (Deluxe Edition)

2024

[Verse]
I know I can't get much closer today
I know I'm burning, but I need an escape
Lord knows I've waited all week for today, all week for today
They say, Son, what've you done to your face?
It's such a terrible life to waste
Keep away from the sun
Oh, it's a fatal mistake, oh, it's a fatal mistake

[Pre Chorus]
I'm like midnight, mid-flight
Cotton mouth and wide eyed
Alright, face white, need a minute outside
Oh, 'cause I don't feel so alright
Well, now it's bright lights, can't hide
Hoping that I don't die
Teeth grind, new heights
Think I'm floating out of sight
Think I'm floating out of sight, oh

[Chorus]
Feathers burn 'cause I get too high
Icarus falls out of the sky
And I go too far always, sometimes
Icarus is dead by sunrise

[Verse]
Now I'm on the wrong side of thе waves
I ain't right, I ain't feeling okay
I'm still out of my head
I hope that thеy're still in bed
I hope no one's awake
They say, Son, you're a fucking disgrace
Can't believe it's my blood in your veins
I don't know who you are
You're not the boy that I raised
You're not the boy that I raised

[Pre Chorus]
I'm like midnight, mid-flight
Cotton mouth and wide eyed
Alright, face white, need a minute outside
Oh, 'cause I don't feel so alright
Well, now it's bright lights, can't hide
Hoping that I don't die
Teeth grind, new heights
Think I'm floating out of sight
Think I'm floating out of sight, oh

[Chorus]
And feathers burn 'cause I get too high
Icarus falls out of the sky
And I go too far always, sometimes
Icarus is dead by sunrise

[Bridge]
But I'm so high, I've been flying all night
Yeah, I'm soaring
Straight through to morning
Straight through to morning
Sun rose and I was too close, now it's dawning
My feathers are falling
I fell with no warning

[Chorus]
And feathers burn 'cause I get too high
Icarus falls out of the sky
And I go too far always, sometimes
Icarus is dead by sunrise

And feathers burn 'cause I get too high
Icarus falls out of the sky
I go too far always, sometimes
Icarus is dead by sunrise
