Close My Eyes

[Verse 1]
I belong a hundred miles from anyone
Dreaming of my past along the shore
It took a while to realize the burning side
Of life alone and life to come from now

All my instincts tell me that I need to know
What it's like tumbling down
Pretty minds and pretty thoughts control my life
And getting old is something we all know...

[Pre-Chorus]
But who ever thought it would be
Such a long time coming
Holding onto a dream

[Chorus]
So I close my eyes and keep them tight for a real long time
I close my eyes and hope that I see you
You and I should role the dice for one last time
'Cause the moment I hold you to me
Is when I stop running

[Verse 2]
The 747 is all mine tonight
I never look down, I never look out at all
I drink for one, I drink for two and then I drink for three
Until I see a light shining down on me

[Pre-Chorus]
And who'd ever thought it would be
Such a long time coming
Holding on to a dream

[Chorus]
So I close my eyes and keep them tight for a real long time
I close my eyes and hope that I see you
You and I should role the dice for one last time
'Cause the moment I hold you to me
Is when I stop running

[Bridge]
And I won't let you go
I need you to know this time
I won't let you go, tonight

[Chorus]
So I close my eyes and keep them tight for a real long time
I close my eyes and hope that I see you
You and I should role the dice for one last time
'Cause the moment I hold you to me
Is when I stop running
