Close Your Eyes

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I guess that's why I shouldn't know.
Where it is while we're here killing time,
In time we'll know where we want it to go.
I've got a lot left to say.
I guess that's why I shouldn't talk.
If everything I think got away
Will you love me or leave me or make me .
Some things to believe in between me and you.
You say, "just close your eyes" but I'm lookin' at you
Every time that I do.
Don't say just close your eyes 'cause I'm lookin' at you.
Every time - I do.
We've got a lot to believe in,
I don't think that's too much to say.
Last night you fell asleep to the TV on my shoulder,
As my whole world changed.
Will you love me or leave me or make me .
Some things to believe in between me and you.
You say, "just close your eyes" but I'm lookin' at you
Every time that I do.
Don't say just close your eyes 'cause I'm lookin' at you.
Every time - I do.
At first you flew by. The second one, too.
In a fraction of time I know just what to do with their [---].
Call her friends and they'll make much ado.
Here they are waiting to walk down the room.
You say,
"Will you love me and keep me through every season,
Through sickness and health with you."
I say, "come close and close your eyes, now I see you."
Every time that I do.
So I'll repeat the lines, shut my eyes, lean in too.
Now and forever, I do.
Don't say just close your eyes 'cause I'm lookin' at you.
Every time - I do.

The singer of the song admits to having a lot on their mind and struggling to express their thoughts and feelings, fearing that they may be thinking too much. They also talk about having a lot left to say but not speaking, possibly because they are afraid of how their words will be perceived by their partner.

This image suggests comfort, trust, and a deep bond between them.
Overall, "Close Your Eyes" is a song that speaks to the universal experience of love, vulnerability, and communication.

Best song for wedding.
@mediwits3446
this is only a few months earlier than ed sheeran's debut, i just cant accept the fact that, aargghhhh i know there's difference, but not big.
dang this band deserves more.
@katarkus
I can only agree with the previous comments. The songs are so incredibly sensitive and the voice sends a shiver through a skin. And not enough, the texts surpass all the others yet. I will strongly rotate the drum for this band. It would be nice if many would hear her wonderful songs.
@kevingill648
