Please, Icarus

The river runs
Just a few blocks from her street
They built a bridge
But they still dig tunnels underneath
It's always summer
And the nights get hot as hell
She asks me if I'll join her
And I might as well

Please, Icarus
Build me up a pair of wings
Light a candle, gather feathers
And we'll see what the morning brings
So I can fly
Then fall out of the sky
Just as long as I come down by her side

She works in big, tall buildings
That are made of stone
They call her 'Miss'
And ask if there's a guy back home
Now, I've known her face
Since she was a little girl
But she's gone away
And found her own place in this world

[Chorus]

Please, Icarus
Build me up a pair of wings

Let me fly
Then fall out of the sky
Just as long as I come down by her side
Let me fall out of the sky
Just as long as I come down by her side
