Eyes Closed

(albüm: New Normal - 2019)

With my eyes closed, with my eyes closed
Yeah

Looking back with my ey-a-ah-ey-eyes closed, don't it fly by?
Until you're saying bye bye, my my, how time has flown
We ain't kids no more, think it's safe to say by now we're grown
When my friends are raising babies of their own (It's crazy)
I remember sneaking out on the weekend, meeting underneath the street lights
Drinking, dancing late in the evening, my whole team right there by my side
We didn't need no rhyme or no reason, our hearts beating fast from the freedom
Feeling alive, man, I wish that we could rewind

But I'll never forget how you looked that night
Something in the air never felt so right
Every single time that I close my eyes
I can still see you there

When we're looking back in ti-t-t-ti-time
On the days that we've left behind
We'll see that we can't re wi-I-I-I-ind
But today's just fine
When we're looking back in ti-t-t-ti-time
On the days that we've left behind
We'll see that we can't re wi-I-I-I-ind
But today's just fine

So let's take a chance
Take a moment, take a photo on the hill
So that can all remember this and we know we always will
Just be still for a second while we strike a pose
So that down the line, when we're looking back through glasses coloured rose
When the alleyways and corners all are littered with the ghosts
Of the characters from stories in the chapters that've closed
Gather round, charge your glasses 'cause it's time to make a toast
To the nearest and the dearest and the ones that matter most
And it goes

When we're looking back in ti-t-t-ti-time
On the days that we've left behind
We'll see that we can't re wi-I-I-I-ind
But today's just fine
When we're looking back in ti-t-t-ti-time
On the days that we've left behind
We'll see that we can't re wi-I-I-I-ind
But today's just fine

With my eyes closed, with my eyes closed
I can still see it clearly with my eyes closed
With my eyes closed, with my eyes closed
I can still see you, yeah
With my eyes closed, with my eyes closed
I can still see it clearly with my eyes closed
With my eyes closed, with my eyes closed
I can still see you

And I'm sure we'll see it in a different light years from now
When we're looking back on this exact moment of here and now
When these days have become olden, having watched it all unfolding
Maybe then we'll understand that each and every era's golden
At times it makes me feel like all my best days now are done
Then I recall there was a time when all that was still yet come
So gather round and let's toast to the chapters yet to close
Because how the story's gonna end, my friend, we're yet to know
