Story Behind The Song
The inspiration for the song is loosely based on the Greek mythology of Icarus, where Icarus escapes from Crete by means of wings that his father constructed from feathers and wax. The song sings about the hope of a relationship where, "as long as you're with me, we'll rise above it all".
Song Description
It's about being young, and having fun, and living for the moment. It is also about realizing that the higher you fall, the harder you fall, but as long as they stick together, the will rise above it all. It's about not stopping until they are done, just having fun, getting closer to the sun. It's about living for the moment, and the sky's the limit. It's about just beginning, and making the moment last forever.

Lyrics
Closer To The Sun
I've been waiting, I've been waiting for this moment
gonna party ya were gunna celebrate
life's to short we gotta live it for the moment
sky's the limit theres no time to hesitate
The higher you fly the harder you fall
as long as your with me
we'll rise above it all
we'll rise above it all
we'll rise above it all
Oh oh oh gonna have a little fun
we've only just begun
let's get closer to the sun
oh oh oh we won't stop until we're done
we've only just begun
lets get closer to the sun
Oh oh oh ooh oh

Can you feel it, can you feel it in your heartbeat
like a firework ready to explode
life's to short we gotta live it for the moment
sky's the limit now ready set go
The higher you fly the harder you fall
as long as your with me
we'll rise above it all
we'll rise above it all
we'll rise above it all
Oh oh oh gonna have a little fun

let's get closer to the sun
