lyrics

Close My Eyes
By Jeremy Goddard & Christian Fontana © 2003

Here I am lying in a place not been before
It's too early & I’m feeling weak and sore
Is my day’s confession like the lovers that I’ve known
Better off left alone

Seems like a lifetime since I spent two nights in the same place
I’ve gotta a home, but I fear my own space
Looks so unfamiliar when I splash my face with water
And I’m haggard, drawn and tortured

I’m slipping away now, I’m slipping away now
Could it be the morning sun or is it just about what I’ve become now
I’m slipping away now, I’m slipping away now
I’m filled with regrets & I’m trying to forget

When I close my eyes
There’s a beating in my chest
When I close my eyes
I just can’t rest
When I close my eyes
They start to weep
When I close my eyes
I can’t get, I can’t get to Sleep

Each one means a little less than the one before
Helping me slip behind another door
Now that I’ve retreated so far from the light
I’m awake all night….

It’s keeping me awake now, it’s keeping me awake
Could it be the morning sun or is it just about what I’ve become now
It’s keeping me awake now, it’s keeping me awake

When I close my eyes
There’s a beating in my chest
When I close my eyes
I just can’t rest
When I close my eyes
They start to weep
When I close my eyes
I can’t get, I can’t get to

Gotta change my reputation, gotta suppress the aggravation,
Gotta get down with the innovation, gotta process the information
Gotta get down with the inclination to find my salvation, to find my salvation
