lyrics
why do I do this to myself
and run my ego past the limit line
like I’m a modern-day Icarus
tumbling down from a great big sky
I don’t know if you noticed, but this means everything to me
and I don’t know if tomorrow I’ll be earthbound or free
why do I do this to myself
and blow my mind like a hurricane
maybe all I need is this guitar
to get me through the driving rain
why do I do this to myself
and everytime I swear not again
it’s hard for me to stay grounded
when I’m always looking back at heaven
and run my ego past the limit line
like I’m a modern-day Icarus
tumbling down from a great big sky
I don’t know if you noticed, but this means everything to me
and I don’t know if tomorrow I’ll be earthbound or free
why do I do this to myself
and blow my mind like a hurricane
maybe all I need is this guitar
to get me through the driving rain
why do I do this to myself
and everytime I swear not again
it’s hard for me to stay grounded
when I’m always looking back at heaven
