Close your eyes

You told me who you were
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

but don't close your eyes
'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.
