Icarus Lyrics

So we go on with our small lives, and no one notices
The fall of a small child, over a great stretch of ocean
Oo
I should have moved, but I just stayed staring out towards the water
Keeping a vigil for a small wave, rolling from somewhere to no one

And I'm as scared as I get
I don’t want any part of this
I don't want to go
So just don't (Ooh)
Don’t leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me

So if I fly too high, and my wings start melting
And I fall damn hard
Will nothing stop spinning

And I'm as scared as I get
I don't want any part of this
I don't want to go
So just don't
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don't leave me
Don’t leave me
