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
