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

If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain unchanged
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain the same

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

If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain unchanged
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain the same

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

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

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

If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain unchanged
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain the same
Oh, yeah

Close your eyes, close your eyes
You gotta close your eyes for me
