Eyes Closed
Bearings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately it's not hard to destroy me
My body feels so weak and fragile
I think that I need you here by me
I think that I need you here

I'll tell you how I have been awful,
My god, I feel tired and lonely,
You know that I need you, need someone to sing to
So why don't you just sing for me?

Why don't you just sing for me?
Why don't you just sing for me?
Why don't you just sing for me?
Why don't you just sing for me? Ya make me

(Chorus)
Smile with my eyes closed laying in the living room
I wanna take you everywhere
Anywhere you wanna go, I'll take you there just let me know
Oh but we both know that isn't true
For now, but give this a little time, I'll do everything I can, I've got the still frame in my mind
When I'll be there, I'll be there, smiling with my eyes closed

My words they get tangled and mixed up
It's hard to explain how this feels
I've played it all out in my head now
Once or twice, but that just isn't real

I've said far too many goodbyes, can't imagine the day you're gone
I can write you a letter, I couldn't feel better
I might even write you a song

All I need
Is for you to sing
Sing for me
Sunset colouring
All I need
Is for you to sing




Sing for me
Over everything

Lately, it's not hard to destroy me
My body feels so weak and fragile
I think that I need you here by me
I think that I need you here now
Tell you how I have been awful
And God, I feel tired and lonely
You know that I need you
Need someone to sing
So why don't you just sing for me?
Why don't you just sing for me?
Why don't you just sing for me?
Why don't you just sing for me?
Why don't you just sing for me?
You make me smile with my eyes closed
Laying in the living room
I wanna take you everywhere
Anywhere you wanna go
I'll take you there, just let me know
Although we both know that isn't true
For now, fuck it, there's so little time
I'll do everything I can
I've got to stuff it in my mind
I'll be there, I'll be there
Smiling with my eyes closed
My words, they get tangled and mixed up
It's hard to explain how this feels
I've played it all out in my head now
Once or twice but that just isn't real
I've said far too many goodbyes
Can't imagine the day you're gone
I can write you a letter, I couldn't feel better
I might even write you a song
Why don't you just sing for me?
Why don't you just sing for me?
Why don't you just sing for me?
Why don't you just sing for me?
You make me smile with my eyes closed
Laying in the living room
I wanna take you everywhere
Anywhere you wanna go
I'll take you there, just let me know
Although we both know that isn't true
For now, fuck it, there's so little time
I'll do everything I can
I've got to stuff it in my mind
I'll be there, I'll be there
Smiling with my eyes closed
All I need
Sing for me
All I need
Sing for me
All I need
Sing for me
Smile with my eyes closed
Laying in the living room
I wanna take you everywhere
Anywhere you wanna go
I'll take you there, just let me know
Although we both know that isn't true
For now, fuck it, there's so little time
I'll do everything I can
I've got to stuff it in my mind
I'll be there, I'll be there
Smiling with my eyes closed
Smiling with my eyes closed
I'll be there

I'm so happy I discovered them today this really slaps

Don't bother reading this:

Saw them open for Mom Jeans in Vancouver! Amazing stage presence and they're absolutely stunning. If you get a chance to watch them perform live you should snag some tickets.
