The Wilder Places

Icarus, she said
Do you know what you're running from?
Dreaming of a long-lost summer
Faded and gone

And boy, I know
I always know what I'm running to
I thought it was you

Icarus, she said
Leave your young and naive heart behind
Dancing through all the wilder places
Was fun in its time

And boy, I know
You won't ever come around
But I still look
When I go out

Icarus, she said
I was was blinded by all the lights
This city, though it hums and sparkles
Has faded into dreams of those summer nights

If we could be young again
In the flash of a neon sign
A flicker in time
Your hand in mine

And I said
You're the only reason I stayed here
Cause I remember everything
The way you moved on the light
If you're the only reason I stayed here
And if time can mend these wings, we could be gone tomorrow
