With my eyes closed, with my eyes closed Yeah Lookin' back with my ey—a—ah—ey—eyes closed, don't it fly by? Until you're sayin' bye bye, my my, how time has flown We ain't kids no more, think it's safe to say by now we're grown When my friends are raisin' babies of their own (It's crazy) I remember sneakin' out on the Weekend, meetin' underneath the street lights Drinkin', dancin' late in the evenin', My whole team right there by my side We didn't need no rhyme or no reason, Our hearts beatin' fast from the freedom Feelin' alive, man, I wish that we could rewind But I'll never forget how you looked that night Something in the air never felt so right Every single time that I close my eyes I can still see you there When we're looking back in ti—t—t—ti—time On the days that we've left behind We'll see that we can't re wi—i—i—i—ind But today's just fine When we're looking back in ti—t—t—ti—time On the days that we've left behind We'll see that we can't re wi—i—i—i—ind But today's just fine So let's take a chance Take a moment, take a photo on the hill So that can all remember this and we know we always will Just be still for a second while we strike a pose So that down the line, When we're lookin' back through glasses coloured rose When the alleyways and corners all are littered with the ghosts Of the characters from stories in the chapters that've closed Gather round, charge your glasses 'cause it's time to make a toast To the nearest and the dearest and the ones that matter most And it goes When we're looking back in ti—t—t—ti—time On the days that we've left behind We'll see that we can't re wi—i—i—i—ind But today's just fine When we're looking back in ti—t—t—ti—time On the days that we've left behind We'll see that we can't re wi—i—i—i—ind But today's just fine With my eyes closed, with my eyes closed I can still see it clearly with my eyes closed With my eyes closed, with my eyes closed I can still see you, yeah With my eyes closed, with my eyes closed I can still see it clearly with my eyes closed With my eyes closed, with my eyes closed I can still see you And I'm sure we'll see it in a different light years from now When we're lookin' back on this exact moment of here and now When these days have become olden, havin' watched it all unfoldin' Maybe then we'll understand that each and every era's golden At times it makes me feel like all my best days now are done Then I recall there was a time when all that was still yet come So gather round and let's toast to the chapters yet to close Because how the story's gonna end, my friend, we're yet to know
