Open My Eyes
Rye Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I close my eyes, all I see is you
I can't read your mind but I'm in there too
You and I belong together
Falling harder than I did before
ASH that's all on my mind
My great escape from darkness inside
I'm never gonna stop until you're mine
I feel a lot but tonight I'm fine
And you and me forever always
We live in peace you can stay at my place
Your energy takes over my headspace
Falling in love like it's a fucking dream
Like a fucking dream
Like a fucking dream(oh)
Like a fucking dream(fucking dream)
Ohouoh
When I close my eyes, all I see is you
I can't read your mind but I'm in there too
You and I belong together
Falling harder than I did before
When I close my eyes, all I see is you
I can't read your mind but I'm in there too
You and I belong together
Falling harder than I did before
Falling harder than I did before
You got something about you that I can't ignore
I'm on a flight today and I'm on my way to catch you
So don't let nobody near you until I'm able to hold you yeah
Oh no I've been waking up with thoughts of you
Maybe it's the way that you just touch my soul you're so divine
I can't wait any longer can I skip the time?
Wanna wake up in bed with you instead of my mind
Instead of my mind
Can I skip the time?(oh)
Instead of my mind(skip the time, skip the time oh)
When I close my eyes, all I see is you
I can't read your mind but I'm in there too
You and I belong together
Falling harder than I did before
When I close my eyes, all I see is you
I can't read your mind but I'm in there too




You and I belong together
Falling harder than I did before
