Close Your Eyes
Dan & Shay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Under this bed sheet parachute
Skin so soft, eyes so blue
The lighting strikes and the rain falls too
So let it fall, let our worries wash away
Let it roll down our windows, all wrapped up we'll stay
Lady, we can lay here and be lazy
Darling, drown in a river that you're caught in
I wanna get lost in your silhouette, and don't forget that red, wet kiss on my lips.
We don't have to go outside, baby just close your eyes
Hold your body like a sweet, sweet rose
From your long brown hair to your curled up toes
Pull you in, keep you close
I wanna know the you nobody knows.
Baby fall, you're safe here in my arms
We can cover all the windows and hide out in the dark
Lady, we can lay here and be lazy
Let it all go, I'll be a pillow, slide just a little closer, let me warm you up
Darling, drown in a river that you're caught in
I wanna get lost in your silhouette, and don't forget that red, wet kiss on my lips.
We don't have to go outside, baby just close your eyes
Lady, we can lay here and be lazy
Let it all go, I'll be a pillow, slide just a little closer, let me warm you up
Darling, drown in a river that you're caught in
I wanna get lost in your silhouette, and don't forget that red, wet kiss on my lips.
We don't have to go outside, baby just close your eyes
I'm gonna hold your body like a sweet sweet rose
From your long brown hair to your curled up toes
The song "Close Your Eyes" by Dan & Shay is a sweet ballad depicting a cozy, intimate moment between lovers. The opening lines create a dreamy atmosphere as the two are under the sheets like they're under a parachute, and the thunderstorm outside makes the moment even more intimate. The singer advises his lover to let go of their worries and enjoy the moment as they are protected from the outside world. The lyrics in the chorus highlight the singer's desire to be close to his partner, to keep her safe in his arms and explore the deep, hidden parts of her.
The second verse is just as romantic as the first, with the singer telling his partner he feels safe with her and wants to know her better. The bridge is particularly sweet, with the repetition of "Lady" and "Darling" creating a sense of loving familiarity. They talk of being lazy, capturing moments in the darkness and making memories. Finally, the last verse repeats the same lines of holding the partner close because they're a "sweet, sweet rose."
Overall, "Close Your Eyes" is a love song that celebrates the power of intimate moments and the beauty of getting lost in each other. The lyrics are not complex, but they offer a vivid picture of a couple finding comfort with each other, which can be relatable and comforting for those who can connect with such an experience.
