[Verse 1: Marcus Mumford]
See through the smoke
Just a card in play
That she wrote my name on
Breathing in the cold
How could she throw me away?
At least wait 'til I have wings on

[Pre-Chorus: Marcus Mumford]
You know, I kissed her once
And she smiled
She'll never see the boy falling out of the sky

[Chorus: Marcus Mumford]
It took me all I had
To turn away from this one
Thought I'd take my chances
I was blinded, I was young
But then all at once
I was back to where I begun
I was burned by the morning
I got too close to the sun

[Verse 2: Marcus Mumford, Gigi Perez]
She said, "Your feathers fit just right
You're a fool, you're a climber
You should've callеd it a night"
Well, it turns out (It turns out)
I turned out fine (Turnеd out fine)
So better luck next time
I'm Icarus ascending

[Pre-Chorus: Marcus Mumford, Marcus Mumford & Gigi Perez]
You know, I kissed her once
And she smiled
She'll never see the boy falling out of the sky

[Chorus: Marcus Mumford, Marcus Mumford & Gigi Perez]
It took me all I had
To turn away from this one
Thought I'd take my chances
I was blinded, I was young
But then all at once
I was back to where I begun
I was burned by the morning
I got too close to the sun

[Bridge: Marcus Mumford, Marcus Mumford & Gigi Perez]
She'll never know
I was falling, falling, ah
I got too close to the sun

[Chorus: Marcus Mumford, Marcus Mumford & Gigi Perez]
It took me all I had
To turn away from this one
Thought I'd take my chances
I was blinded, I was in love
But then all at once
I was back to where I begun
I was burned by the morning
I got too close to the sun
I got too close to the sun
