lyrics

You could say that you tried to warn me
But good advice, does nothing for me
If I can’t live it, it’s only a story
So here I go again here I go again here I go

I love the fire despite inevitable hurt
Getting closer to it knowing I’ll get burnt
I should know better, well that’s for sure
But here I go again here I go again here I go

Almost guaranteed
A heart with skinned knees

But I’ll be alright
Let me go out of sight
As I fly a little closer to the sun
I know that I might fall
‘cause there’s no highs without the lows
I’m just trying to get closer to the sun

Say I told you so
Or tell me I’m a sucker
Goes in one ear and out of another
Taking chances like a high roller
Here I go again here I go again here I go

Nothing’s easy, believe me I can prove it
But I get mine amongst all the bruises
You know they say, you use it or lose it
So here I go here I go…

I won’t entertain
Any other way

Cause I’ll be alright
Let me go out of sight
As I fly a little closer to the sun
I know that I might fall
‘cause there’s no highs without the lows
Still I try to get closer to the sun

3 2 1 to
self destruction
Looking for the
Reconstruction
Head first always
Head first

I’ll be alright
Let me go out of sight
As I fly a little closer to the sun
I might fall
‘cause there’s no highs without the lows
Still I try to get closer to the sun
