(Verse 1) The coffee's cold, the buzz is dead Just empty bottles and words we said This room still echoes with the beat Of bleeding hearts and burning feet We traced our dreams on foggy glass A perfect future, built to last We had the map, we had the keys We were kings of make- believe (Pre-Chorus) The engine screamed, the tires cried We pushed that feeling deep inside No looking back, just straight ahead ‘Til all the fire in us fled… (Chorus) And we were so close to the sun! Icarus wheels, but the race was run We touched the glory, felt the sting Of almost being everything! Yeah, we were inches from the crown! But the clock ran out and let us down We held the flame, but couldn't tame the night… We almost got it right. (Verse 2) Remember laughing at the rain? Swore we were dancing on a plane Above the fools, above the fray We'd never see a yesterday You kissed the chrome, I gripped the wheel A partnership of blood and steel We left the doubters in the dust ‘Til all that was left was only us… and… (Pre-Chorus) The engine screamed, the tires cried We pushed that feeling deep inside No looking back, just straight ahead ‘Til all the fire in us fled… (Chorus) And we were so close to the sun! Icarus wheels, but the race was run We touched the glory, felt the sting Of almost being everything! Yeah, we were inches from the crown! But the clock ran out and let us down (Bridge) Was it a breakdown? A wrong turn? A lesson that we had to learn? Or just the universe's joke? A wisp of unforgiving smoke… I look at you, you look at me The ghost of what we meant to be We don't need words to speak the truth… We gambled on the pride of youth. [Guitar solo, instrumental] (Chorus) And we were SO CLOSE to the sun! Icarus fell, and the race was run! We touched the glory, FELT THE STING! Of almost being… EVERYTHING! Yeah, we were INCHES from the CROWN! But the clock ran out and let us DOWN! We held the flame, but couldn't tame the NIGHT! We almost got it… right. (Outro) We almost had it all… Just one more mile… We almost broke the fall….
