I find it difficult
To express my feelings
Ask me why and I don't know
Lately it's been hard
To find a space in my head at night
Post-mortem, your afterglow
Will you sit with me tonight?
Only if you're feeling up to it
How could I make such a pretty face
Fall out of place
Icarus dear,
Maybe one of these days I'll take you home
Back to the city that I call my home
And you can dance for me and write for me
And I will carve your name on a postcard
I'd like to kiss you
Just to see how it feels
Softly silent, sense compliance
But I don't want to
Be the girl always waiting for you
Makes me feel so ordinary
Will you sit with me tonight?
Only if you're feeling up to it
How could I make such a pretty face
Fall out of place
Icarus dear,
Maybe one of these days I'll take you home
Back to the city that I call my home
And you can dance for me and write for me
And I will carve your name on a postcard
And I'm slow to it
And you're slow to it
And we're slow to it
Dancing in circles round the back
I'm too slow to it
And you're slow to it
And we're slow to it
All I ever wanted was you
Yeah
You are the creator's son
Who never knew what he had done
But he keeps on trying and maybe we should too
Went and totaled your left side wing
Never thought we could end this thing
But you make me feel so weightless and I love it
I love it
I love it
I love it
I love it
I love it
I love it
I love it
I love it
I love it
I love it
I love it
Icarus dear
Icarus dear
Icarus dear
Icarus dear
I love it
I love it
I love it
I love it (Icarus dear)
I love it (Icarus dear)
I love it (Icarus dear)
I love it (Icarus dear)
Won't you come home?
