Close Your Eyes
Justine A.r.d.i Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I guess I never heard
You thought it treason
'til I saw you from the floor
Running out the door
You had your reasons
'cause you might need them now
But don't close your eyes
You might need them now
well, I pulled you off the fence
To see the consequence;
We didn't dream it
then I looked into your eyes
But you hid in a disguise
I'd never seen it
but don't close your eyes
'cause you might need them now
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Yeah, yeah
baby, you were my baby
I put my writing on the wall but you never read at all
Maybe, only maybe if I run into the sea
You can watch me stop to breathe and feel...
I rose up from a dream to a nightmare from a scene of a motion picture
The rocks began to slide and everybody died in just a flicker
so don't close your eyes
'cause you might need them now
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Hey-yeah
baby, you were my baby
I put my writing on the wall but you never read at all
Maybe, only maybe if I run into the sea
You can watch me stop to breathe and feel...
I still see it on your mind but that will pass in time 'cause time will heal it
so don't close your eyes
'cause you might need them now
Don't close your eyes
You might need them now.
