Close-open 

In the restaurant industry, a close-open is when a restaurant employee locks up (last to leave) or ends work at closing time of the establishment, then opens (first to arrive) or begins work at opening time of the following day

Sorry dude, I can't hang out tonight. They got me working a close-open.
Two close-opens in a row?!? Is that even legal?

Close to the Edge

1. The feeling of being on the border of committing suicide or otherwise being extremely close to your limit of something.

2. The Greatest song ever made

"Man, I'm feeling really Close to the Edge and Down by a River right now"

"Dont worry man, get some help and you'll feel better. This dark season will pass you by. Somedays we get up, others we get down"

flew too close to the sun 

Being overconfident and reckless. Not knowing your limits. The phrase comes from the tale of Icarus, a young man who flew too close to the sun and fell from the sky when his wings melted. It's a tale of caution, warning us to remember our limitations.

Person #1: That man was killed by the gang leader, thinking he can take him on.
Person #2: I guess he flew too close to the sun.
