Eyes Closed

Fluorescent lighting with your eyes hollowed out
You whispered "I think I love you"
Like it was some terrible confession
Like you were still stuck second guessing
And I talked you up to all your prep school friends
Oh I was down on my knees
Like you were some secondary Jesus
The one thing I wanted to believe in

And so you might just
Get the feeling this is something righteous
If you can't stop it then you should invite it
So long we denied it
Burning stronger than a Holy Ghost
You can see it with your eyes closed, eyes closed
You can see it with your eyes closed, eyes closed

So when you lie awake do you still try to erase
The thought of her in your backseat
Drawing hearts in the foggy window
Back when I was stone cold
Now auttum still smells like cinnamon and destress
And you know all I ever wanted was to give you my best
Oh, I was right there
Knowing better than to read into a blank stare

And so you might just
Get the feeling this is something righteous
If you can't stop it then you should invite it
So long we denied it
Burning stronger than a Holy Ghost
You can see it with your eyes closed, eyes closed
You can see it with your eyes closed, eyes closed

So don't say you didn't know
When I was lying on the floor
Of that basement on the Eastside
That we should've been more than friends
Think we knew just how this would end

And you might just
Get the feeling this is something righteous
If you can't stop it then you should invite it
So long we denied it
Burning stronger than a Holy Ghost
You can see it with your eyes closed, eyes closed
You can see it with your eyes closed, eyes closed
You can see it with your eyes closed, eyes closed
You can see it with your eyes closed, eyes closed
You can see it with your eyes closed, eyes closed
You can see it with your eyes closed, eyes closed
