Don't Close Your Eyes

copyright © 2007 Shayne Holland.

Watcha gonna do when the lights go red,
and they don’t ever change,
watcha gonna do to clear your head,
this time, all you hear is double-talk,
at every turn a roadblock, how’d you get on this walk,
now you’re the one, who’s in the way

Don’t you close your eyes, there will be a new sunrise,
gonna kiss the hurt goodbye, don’t walk away oh no


The thread is bare the needle's lost,
can’t sew the halves that made your heart,
too far in debt can’t pay the cost, this time
And the dark pins the light, you’re wishing you could catch a flight,
to take you beyond what’s on the map,
where you’d be unknown, to start again

Don’t you close your eyes, there will be a new sunrise,
gonna kiss the hurt goodbye, don’t walk away oh no


Beaten down, thrown on the tracks,
you’d do anything to get yourself back,
don’t know where you’re going,
can’t stand where you’ve been, if you could rewind time,
rewrite the scenes, rewrite the lines, reclaim the dream, yeahhhhhh

Don’t you close your eyes, there will be a new sunrise,
gonna kiss the hurt goodbye, don’t walk away oh no don’t walk away, don’t walk away
