Close Your Eyes
The Elliot Project Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

By the way your eyes find mine. Im sure of every story that I ever heard.
You always say, Dont be afraid. Cause we always stay the same. We never change.
Watch my words as they fell from my lips to your ears.
While the seasons change, you know we stay the same.
Well hide under cover by the sunsets and stars.
Before the sun rises. Before the morning comes. I promise well always stay.
Close your eyes with angels wings. Well runaway and well escape.
We are all just dreamers and our hearts will not stop beating.
I always keep my eyes up. I always keep my eyes open to see you.
Im not silent, Im not dying




No were not silent.
No were not dying
