Close My Eyes Lyrics
AJ:
My feet on the ground but I can't run
Drowning the noise inside my head
Who is this man that I've become?
It's killing me to see myself
How do you learn how to forgive
When deep down inside you can't forget?
With all that I regret
I pray for the first time in a long time
The lies fade away
Nick:
Finally I'm waking up
I feel like I can let you go
Say everything I wanted to say
I'm okay with being alone
Chorus:
When I close my eyes
When I close my eyes
AJ:
I'm alive
I never was sure but now I am
This was the choice I had to make
Maybe I'll never understand
Sometimes you gotta make mistakes
Nick:
Finally I'm waking up
I feel like I can let you go
Say everything I wanted to say
I'm okay with being alone
Finally I'm facing up
I feel like I can let it show
I know I can walk away
I'm okay with being alone
Chorus:
When I close my eyes
(Brian: close my eyes, close my eyes)
When I close my eyes
(Brian: close my eyes, close my eyes)
When I close my eyes
AJ:
How do you know where to go when you're going?
(Chorus: When I close my eyes)
How do you know that you know when it's over?
Brian:
I see for the first time in a long time
Believe me when I say,..
Nick:
Finally I'm waking up
I feel like I can let you go
Say everything I wanted to say
I'm okay with being alone
Finally I'm facing up
I feel like I can let it show
I know I can walk away
I'm okay with being alone
Chorus:
When I close my eyes
(Brian: close my eyes, close my eyes)
When I close my eyes
(Brian: close my eyes, close my eyes)
When I close my eyes
I'm alive
AJ:
I'm alive
My feet on the ground but I can't run
Drowning the noise inside my head
Who is this man that I've become?
It's killing me to see myself
When deep down inside you can't forget?
With all that I regret
I pray for the first time in a long time
The lies fade away
Finally I'm waking up
I feel like I can let you go
Say everything I wanted to say
I'm okay with being alone
When I close my eyes
When I close my eyes
I'm alive
This was the choice I had to make
Maybe I'll never understand
Sometimes you gotta make mistakes
Finally I'm waking up
I feel like I can let you go
Say everything I wanted to say
I'm okay with being alone
I feel like I can let it show
I know I can walk away
I'm okay with being alone
When I close my eyes
(Brian: close my eyes, close my eyes)
When I close my eyes
(Brian: close my eyes, close my eyes)
When I close my eyes
How do you know where to go when you're going?
(Chorus: When I close my eyes)
How do you know that you know when it's over?
I see for the first time in a long time
Believe me when I say,..
Finally I'm waking up
I feel like I can let you go
Say everything I wanted to say
I'm okay with being alone
I feel like I can let it show
I know I can walk away
I'm okay with being alone
When I close my eyes
(Brian: close my eyes, close my eyes)
When I close my eyes
(Brian: close my eyes, close my eyes)
When I close my eyes
I'm alive
I'm alive

Really great song. It's about leaving the past behind and concentrating on the future, when you want to do so, but not always you are able to do so. It's about relationships, that are over, and how you try to forget them. It's about being somewhere between then and now. I like how AJ sings "How do you know, where to go, when you go away? And how do you know, that you know, when it's over?" Awesome, meaningful line.
Awe. Lovely song. Wonderfully sung ballad!
