Close Your Eyes
A.G. Cook Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your eyes opened wide
As I looked your way
Couldn't hide what
They meant to say
Feeling lost in
A crowded room
It's too soon for a new love
When you smile

Your eyes show your heart
Lost inside a suit on a bar
Feeling alone with
People around
True love is hard to find now
You think you're
So misunderstood
I'd explain if only I could
Something tells me
This time it's real
The way that I feel

Your eyes like the blue
In the summer skies
Caught my gaze
As I looked across
Feeling lost in a magic maze
It's too soon for a new love
You can't hide that
Look in your eyes
Open wide you
Seem so surprised
Searching around
For somebody new
True love is hard to find now
When you smile your eyes
Show your heart
I feel mine is falling apart
Can't you see the
Way that I feel
My loving is real

When you're lost your eyes
Show you how
I should like to
Know I'm about
When your eyes shine

I know you're mine
For all of the time

Overall Meaning

In A.G. Cook's song Close Your Eyes, the first verse talks about how the person's eyes show their vulnerability and true feelings. The singer notices the person's eyes opening wide when they looked their way, and they couldn't hide what they meant to say. They feel lost in a crowded room and the singer believes that it's too soon for a new love. However, they still can't help but feel that the way the person smiles must be indicative of their heart, though they feel alone in the crowd. The singer recognizes that true love is hard to find nowadays and that the person probably thinks they're misunderstood. They wish they could explain how they're feeling, but something tells them that this time, their feelings are real.

The second verse continues the notion that the person's eyes reveal everything about what they're feeling. They liken the blue in their eyes to the blue in summertime skies, and when they locked gazes, they felt lost in a "magic maze." The singer thinks it's too soon for the person to be seeking out new love, and they can't hide that look in their eyes. Once again, the singer feels that the person's smile shows their heart, but their own heart is falling apart. They recognize that true love is hard to find nowadays, and they hope the other person can see how they truly feel.

Overall, the song seems to be about two people who are potentially falling in love but are unsure of how the other person feels. Their eyes reveal everything they're struggling to say, and although they feel lost and alone, they believe that their love is real.
