[Verse 1:]
Baby, I get so scared inside
And I don't really understand
Is it love that's on my mind
Or is it fantasy?
Heaven is in the palm of my hand
And it's waiting here for you
What am I supposed to do
With a childhood tragedy?
[Chorus:]
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain the same?
[Verse 2:]
Sometimes it's hard to hold on
So hard to hold on to my dreams
It isn't always what it seems
When you're face to face with me
You're like a dagger
You stick me in the heart
And taste the blood from my blade
And when we sleep
Would you shelter me in
Your warm and darkened grave?
[Repeat Chorus:]
[Bridge:]
Will you ever take me?
No, I just can't take the pain
Would you ever trust me
No, I'll never feel the same
I know
I been so hard on you
I know
I told you lies
If I could have just one more wish
I'd wipe the cobwebs from my eyes
[Repeat Chorus:]
Oh, yeah
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
You gotta close your eyes for me
