I’ve been awake too long Wish there was something that could close my eyes To all that I see Awake too long It would be easier to fall asleep I watched the rise and the fall of the common man I lived to see your steps walk back I watched the walls all

Beyond dreams Beyond life You will find your song Before sounds to be found Close your eyes and rise Higher still endless thrill To the lend of love beyond love Come alive and you'll find forever watching you alive

And I wait for paradise I hold my breath and close my eyes I visit you in another dream Up to my heart the waters rise Where the river runs to black I take the schoolbooks from your pack Plastics, wire and your kiss The breath of eternity on your lips In

I hit the ground and I'm still running but I need a place to stay tonight, I swear I'll be gone in the morning I just need somewhere warm to close my eyes Can you hear the desperate cries that are calling out your name? Twisting your arms, holding out

You'll be okay You will understand The sun will rise To better days Just close your eyes And let it rain 'Cause you're never alone And I will always be there You just carry on

Just close your eyes And count to five Let's craft the only thing we know into surprise Set down your glass I painted this To look like you and me forever as we're now And I'm shaking and I'm still When you're eyes meet mine all the simple skills
