Close My Eyes Lyrics

looking over the edge
I can almost see you smile
but I can't be too sure
looking to the light
I can almost hear you call
but I can't be too sure
please don't leave me here alone
it's getting dark
please take me home
what else can I say
to make you look my way
I've tried to do the things you've said
it's not working
is it all in my head
I want to close my eyes
and count to ten
and when I open them
I want to be somewhere else
I just don't see the things
other people seem to see
reaching out to touch you
a name without a face
but I don't really understand
I ask to you these questions
for you I do recall
after it all
please don't leave me here alone
it's getting dark
please take me home
I've tried to do the things you've said
it's not working
is it all in my head
[Chorus]

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is one of Evan and Jaron's best songs. I actually like to think of it as him asking God ("a name without a face") for help. He feels lost, and everything he tries just doesn't work. It sounds like he's suicidal and just wants it all to be over.
