That Kid, IcarusAdam WarRock

[Intro]
Hey yo, feels so good to be up here in the sky
It's like I gotta put my shades on; it's so bright
Sun shining, you know what I'm saying?
But like, you've done so many shows
Been to so many places
People know your name online
And what's it feel like to be on top?
Well it kinda feels like this

[Chorus]
Yo, they said I flew a little close to the sun
But that's the way we try to live until the living is done
Make me wings that'll fly straight up to the sky
You know I shine so bright (I shine so bright)

Yo, they said I flew a little close to the sun
But that's the way you try to live until the living is done
Make me wings that'll fly straight up to the sky
You know we shine so bright (I shine so bright)

[Verse 1]
I used to stare at the sun til my eyes they hurt
Used to dig my feet in with the sweat on my shirt
Cause I knew my place in this life on earth was
Worth so much more than the worms and the dirt
So the arts and crafts and with my hands they pass
That Elmer's glue in a flask and the feathers attached
And the cliff maybe you can sort of call it a plateau
I looked over the edge and said "I might as well go"
Now the people are like ants marching in the street
I can see where the lands parts and rivers they meet
And the air that I breathe standing cold
And the birds are my friends though I shiver alone
When the clouds they pass and all the winds they gas[?]
And so I make my way past
All the shadows and bastards
You know they say, when it rains it pours
Well, sometimes you just gotta fly
When the sun shine

[Chorus]
Yo, they said I flew a little close to the sun
But that's the way we try to live until the living is done
Make me wings that'll fly straight up to the sky
You know I shine so bright (I shine so bright)

Yo, they said I flew a little close to the sun
But that's the way you try to live until the living is done
Make me wings that'll fly straight up to the sky
You know we shine so bright (I shine so bright)

[Verse 2]
And for that one solid second I knew
Blue skies had proved
A better place than my desk at school
And my desk at my job
Where I fought with the boss who just
Didn't appreciate the things that I do
Cause I swing and I sway and I barrel roll
And I make my way up without caring though
And I break the clouds so the sun made me sweat
And my wings they flex until the second they get
Situated cause the horizon looks different from
The other side; feeling like I'm floating
And flying it kinda took a while
To feel the wax as it melted on the skin
And I felt that feeling within
With the fear and the hope
That the air that I breathe
Could keep me off my feet
As I fell to the street
I'm the kid that dreamed
And one day took flight
And I shine so bright (I shine so bright)

[Chorus]
Yo, they said I flew a little close to the sun
But that's the way we try to live until the living is done
Make me wings that'll fly straight up to the sky
You know I shine so bright (I shine so bright)

Yo, they said I flew a little close to the sun
But that's the way you try to live until the living is done
Make me wings that'll fly straight up to the sky
You know we shine so bright (I shine so bright)

[Verse 3]
Yeah, how long's it gonna last right?
They said I flew a little close to the sun
And so I'm falling faster than I ever wanted to run
Take these wings, give me a second chance
Cause I shine so bright but I knew it wouldn't last
And with time passed
Straight down I go
Can't fly fast enough and I know and I know yo

[Chorus]
Yo, they said I flew a little close to the sun
But that's the way we try to live until the living is done
Make me wings that'll fly straight up to the sky
You know I shine so bright (I shine so bright)

Yo, they said I flew a little close to the sun
But that's the way you try to live until the living is done
Make me wings that'll fly straight up to the sky
You know we shine so bright (I shine so bright)
