Ryan Scott Long - icarus

It all happened so fast
You were Midas, I was gold and
Just like Icarus, I flew too close
Can we make it last
If I'm still running from the rising tides
But I'm afraid of flying?

Were we doomed to fail from the start?
Did they prophesy it?
If I'm the fool to think we were gods
How could I just stay quiet?

I don't want this to be
Just another midnight long drive
Love me when it's dark outside
I want to wake up with you
And hold you in the morning
I want to let the whole world know that
You're mine
Paper wings weren't made to fly

Now I brace for the crash
It's a tumultuous descension
We didn't start, but still we're ending
In a moment passed
You're just like all the ones who came before
A beautiful disaster

And we were doomed to fail from the start
So what's the point in fighting?
And I'm a fool to break my own heart
And tend a fire dying

But I don't want this to be
Just another midnight long drive
Love me when it's dark outside
Want to wake up on a Tuesday morning
Rain and coffee pouring
All my feelings out all over the floor
I couldn't love you anymore than I do now
And somehow I think we could touch the sky
But the sun's too bright
Paper wings weren't made to fly

I don't want this to be
Just another midnight long drive
Love me when it's dark outside
Want to wake up on a Tuesday morning
Rain and coffee pouring
All my feelings out all over the floor
I couldn't love you anymore than I do now
But the sun's too bright
Paper wings weren't made to fly

But the sun's too bright
