Close My Eyes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
AJ:
My feet on the ground
But I can't run
Drowning the noise inside my head
Who is this man that I've become?
It's killing me to see myself
How do you know how to forgive?
When deep down inside you can't forget
With all that I regret
I pray for the first time in a long time
The lies fade away
Nick:
Finally I'm waking up
I feel like I can let you go
Say everything I wanted to say
I'm okay with being alone
When I close my eyes
When I close my eyes
AJ:
I'm alive
I never was sure
But now I am
This was the choice I had to make
Maybe I'll never understand
Sometimes you gotta make mistakes
Nick:
Finally I'm waking up
I feel like I can let you go
Say everything I wanted to say
I'm okay with being alone
Finally I'm facing up
I feel like I can let it show
I know I can walk away
I'm okay with being alone
When I close my eyes (close my eyes, close my eyes)
When I close my eyes (close my eyes, close my eyes)
When I close my eyes
AJ:
How do you know where to go when you're going?
How do you know that you know when it's over?
Brian:
I see for the first time
In a long time
Believe me when I say
Nick:
Finally I'm waking up
I feel like I can let you go
Say everything I wanted to say
I'm okay with being alone
Finally I'm facing up
I feel like I can let it show
I know I can walk away
I'm okay with being alone
When I close my eyes (close my eyes, close my eyes)
When I close my eyes (close my eyes, close my eyes)
I'm alive
AJ:
I'm alive
