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.
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.

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 breath
And feel like I do.

I rose up from a dream
To a nightmare from the scene of a motion picture.
The rocks began to slid
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
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 breath
And feel like I do.

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.
