Close My Eyes

Lyrics

I was wayward child  
With the weight of the world  
That I held deep inside  
Life was a winding road  
And I learned many things  
Little ones shouldn't know  
  
But I closed my eyes  
Steadied my feet on the ground  
Raised my head to the sky  
And though time's rolled by  
Still feel like that child  
As I look at the monn  
Maybe I grew up  
A little too soon  
  
Funny how one can learn  
To grow numb to the madness  
And block it away  
I left the worst unsaid  
Let it all dissipate  
And I try to forget  
  
But I closed my eyes  
Steadied my feet on the ground  
Raised my head to the sky  
And though time's rolled by  
Still feel like that child  
As I look at the monn  
Maybe I grew up  
A little too soon  
  
Nearing the edge  
Oblivious I almost  
Fell right over  
A part of me  
Will never be quite able  
To feel stable  
That woman-child falling inside  
Was on the verge of fading  
Thankfully I  
Woke up in time  
  
Guardian angel I  
Sail away on an ocean  
With you by my side  
Orange clouds roll by  
They burn into your image  
And you're still alive  
(You're always alive)  
  
But I closed my eyes  
Steadied my feet on the ground  
Raise my head to the sky  
And though time's rolls by  
Still feel like that child  
As I look at the monn  
Maybe I grew up  
A little too soon
