Close Your Eyes
Jump Little Children Lyrics

Tell me you had bad dreams last night
Requesting the listener to confide in them about any nightmares experienced the previous night

cause you were rolling in your sleep
Implying that the listener's movements suggest their discomfort or distress during sleep

Tell me you hate those bright street lights
Asking the listener to admit their aversion towards unpleasant aspects of reality

sometimes the shadows give you the creeps
Reinforcing the idea that the listener is distressed by the unknown or the uncertain

Please.. close your eyes
Requesting the listener to shut their eyes to avoid any unpleasant stimuli

Please.. if you don't want to say
Asking the listener to remain silent if they do not wish to divulge any information

Please.. what keeps you awake
Requesting the listener to share what is causing their insomnia

Tell me the air up here's too thin
Asking the listener to admit any discomforts they may be experiencing in their current surroundings

You can't feel the wind when it moves
Describing a potential symptom of high altitude sickness, where the body struggles to adapt to the change in pressure

Tell me the stars are made of tin
Inviting the listener to entertain the possibility of perceiving the world in a different light

and that they're banging on the roof
Using a playful image to further the narrative of the listener's altered worldview

The sun will rise and keep your mind at ease
Offering reassurance that the dawn will eventually arrive, bringing new beginnings and peace of mind

So close your eyes..
Urging the listener, once again, to shut their eyes and let the future unfold

Please...
Continuing the polite and caring tone of the song, the final word serves as a reminder of the inherent kindness of the request
