Lyrics
TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN
AM I FLYING CLOSE YEAH FAR TOO CLOSE
WHEN THE DAY IS DONE IF I SAY
I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU AM I FLYING TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN
HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN MY LIMITATIONS IT'S A FACT THAT CAN'T BE MISSED
I'LL ALWAYS GO OUT ON A LIMB
AND YOU'RE AN ATTRACTION I CAN'T RESIST BUT
AM I BEING RECKLESS TO GAMBLE ON SUCH A CRAZY GAME
AM I OVERCONFIDENT AND LIKE A MOTH TO A FLAME
AM I FLYING CLOSE YEAH FAR TOO CLOSE
WHEN THE DAY IS DONE IF I SAY
I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU AM I FLYING TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN
AM I FLYING CLOSE HEY WAY TOO CLOSE
WHEN THE DAY IS DONE IF I SAY
I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU AM I FLYING TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN
WILL I MELT MY WINGS THESE AND A THOUSAND OTHER THINGS
WILL I CRASH AND BURN WILL I EVER LEARN
HAVE ALWAYS HAD MY UNCERTAINTIES IF I SPEAK MY MIND TO YOU
YEAH THERE'S A DANGER IN THE AIR
YOU WILL TAKE AND BREAK MY POOR HEART IN TWO AND
AM I BEING RECKLESS TO GAMBLE ON SUCH A CRAZY GAME
AM I OVERCONFIDENT AND LIKE A MOTH A MOTH TO A FLAME
AM I FLYING CLOSE YEAH FAR TOO CLOSE
WHEN THE DAY IS DONE IF I SAY
I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU AM I FLYING TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN
AM I FLYING CLOSE HEY WAY TOO CLOSE
WHEN THE DAY IS DONE IF I SAY
I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU AM I FLYING TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN
WILL I MELT MY WINGS THESE AND A THOUSAND OTHER THINGS
WILL I CRASH AND BURN WILL I EVER LEARN
AM I FLYING CLOSE AM I FLYING CLOSE YEAH FAR TOO CLOSE
WHEN THE DAY IS DONE IF I SAY
I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU AM I FLYING TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN
AM I FLYING CLOSE HEY WAY TOO CLOSE
WHEN THE DAY IS DONE IF I SAY
AM I FLYING CLOSE YEAH FAR TOO CLOSE AND
I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU AM I FLYING TOO CLOSE YEAH
FLYING TOO CLOSE YEAH FLYING TO CLOSE
AM I FLYING TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN
TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN
WILL I MELT MY WINGS THESE AND A THOUSAND OTHER THINGS
AM I FLYING CLOSE YEAH FAR TOO CLOSE
WHEN THE DAY IS DONE
AM I FLYING TOO CLOSE HEY FAR TOO CLOSE
AM I FLYING TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN
FLYING TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN
WILL I CRASH AND BURN WILL I EVER LEARN
FLYING TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN
FLYING TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN
FLYING TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN
FLYING TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN
