When I Close My Eyes Songtext

von Joel Plaskett

This is your number, it's all I've got
This is me standing in a parking lot
This the movie that never got made
This is my heart, and it's a grenade

Pulling the pin, running for cover
In the middle of the night
Pick up the phone, I wanna come over

Back in the day, walking your way
You read my mind, you knew what I'd say
Foot in my mouth, cat got my tongue
Tripping on clichés and coming undone

Holding your hand, running for cover
In the middle of the night
Tell me your name
Can I come over?

‘Cause you are in my head, you are in the driver's seat
I'd follow your love down a dead end street
I would live life blind, I would tell you lies
Just to hear your voice when I close my eyes

After the dance, after the whiskey
After you left, before you kissed me
Too much to drink, stumbling home
Nobody there when the lights came on
Cutting my losses, counting my blessings
In the middle of the night
Can I come over? Are you undressing?

‘Cause you are in my head, you are in the driver's seat
I'd follow your love down a dead end street
I would live life blind, I would tell you lies
Just to hear your voice when I close my eyes

Is this the last of the signals you're sending?
Are we rolling the credits?
Is this the ending?

‘Cause you are in my head, you are in the driver's seat
I'd follow your love down the darkest street
I would live life blind under starless skies
Just to hear your voice when I close my eyes
Just to hear your voice when I close my eyes
You are in my head when I close my eyes

This is your number, it's all I've got
This is me standing in a parking lot
