Too Close To The Sun Lyrics

David Usher

High above your atmosphere
Do they all still cheer for who they think we are
And once more past the sun again
Feelings sinking in I think weve gone to far
And why did you fly did you burn
Cant you learn from my mistakes
I have made them so I know
Bored just one more cup of tea
All the stars and me theyll teach me how to shine
cause life its so much colder here
Ill absorb your fears and bury them inside
And why did you fly did you burn
Cant you learn from my mistakes
I have made them so I know
Youre too close to the sun
Youre too close to the sun
Youre too close to the sun
Youre too close to the sun
Youre too close to the sun
Things we found so lovely
Turn so ugly
Ive grown nakeder day by day
Its quite disarming I find it alarming
When everybodys listening
Why did you fly did you burn
Cant you learn from what weve learned
I cant see you anymore
Youre too close to the sun
Youre too close to the sun
Youre too close to the sun
Youre too close to the sun
Youre too close to the sun
