Do you really look so different
Has my own perspective changed?
It seems so long, it's only half a year
But my whole life's rearranged
I thought that I would remember you
Thought I'd never lose your smile
I guess I've lost those memories
And it sure has been a while
Maybe I've always been afraid
Like Icarus I'd get too close
And my waxen wings would melt
Causing heartache, I suppose
When I saw you there was nothing
Nothing noticed, nothing felt
Maybe as always I was holding back
So afraid my wings might melt
The question hidden in your eyes
Are the same old feelings there?
The honest truth, it's so sad to say
Is that I don't really care
Maybe I've always been afraid
Like Icarus I'd get too close
And my waxen wings would melt
Causing heartache, I suppose
I watch the river going by my door
As it whispers of my fate
When the time comes for me to jump in
You know I won't hesitate
Now I'm in control
'Cause I finally have let go
Watching the world going spinning by
It's an entertaining show
Maybe I've always been afraid
Like Icarus I'd get too close
And my waxen wings would melt
Causing heartache, I suppose
Maybe I've always been afraid
Like Icarus I'd get too close
And my waxen wings would melt
Causing heartache, I suppose
