lyrics

Told me not to fly near the ocean.
Told me not to stay in slow motion.
Warned me not to fly too close to the sea,
for the water would devour me.

Told me not to fly too close to the sun,
for this calefacient light we must shun.
Warned me not to fly too close to the sun,
but it's hard to take advice when you're young.

Levitate as high as Icarus.
The warming light hard to resist,
amidst the abyss.
But a precious warning Daedalus enlisted
with those wings that he had gifted,
not to stray too far my son,
for those wings would come undone.
