Close My Eyes

I was a 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, raise my head to the sky

And though times rolled by

Still, I feel like a child as I look at the moon

Maybe I grew up a little too soon

Funny how one can learn to grow numb to the madness

And block it away (Block it away)

I left the worst unsaid

Let it all dissipate and I try to forget

As I close my eyes

Steady my feet on the ground, raise my head to the sky

And though time rolled by

Still, I feel like a child as I look at the moon

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, feeling inside was on the verge of dying

Thankfully, I woke up in time (Woke up in time, time, 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

As I close my eyes

Steady my feet on the ground, raise my head to the sky

And though time rolled by

Still, I feel like a child as I look at the moon

Maybe I grew up a little too soon
