When My Eyes

When My Eyes Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1]
Waitress on skates in training
They dart to call it dreamin’
Images present themselves to me
Seeds are ripe for reapin’
I continue sleepin’
You’re everything you ever wanted to be, yeah
And nothin’ here is changin’
No messy rearrangin’
‘Cause every set of ficus stays the same
Sinatra’s always singin’
And you do all the clingin’
And someone else accepts my place

[Chorus]
Whatever my imagination throws
So rugged, growin’ rose
When my eyes do close
When my eyes do close
When they close

[Verse 2]
Turn and face my ceilin’
Deep in all the feelin’
Inhibitions turn to dust and fly away
Stop my eyelids flickerin’
With your petty bickerin’
But this time, I say what I got to say
I hear my girl Dinah’s playin’
And a tree’s branches start swayin’
Run over and sit right by the roof
And I see the leaves are growin’
Little birds are showin’
Reach out a hand and bite into the fruit

[Chorus]
Whatever my imagination throws
So rugged, growin’ rose
When my eyes do close
When my eyes do close
When they close

[Bridge]
Nothin’ such a scrutiny (Nothin’ such a scrutiny)
Avoidin’ all the mutiny
You are lovin’, beautifully
And it’s fragrant beautifully
Colourful and monochrome
Amy Winehouse alone
Far away from ringin’ phone at home
I turn to stone, turn to stone
And all the thoughts are static
Yeah, my singin’ is automatic
And I wish that I could sell it
And my every urge, you tell her
‘Cause I can sense no danger
I am the lone ranger through the desert in a yellow caddy
With a black-haired, blue-eyed stranger

[Verse 3]
White dress outside dryin’
I’ve been a fear for flyin’
I overtake Montgomery in skills, yeah
Never been more darin’
Kitten heels I’m wearin’
Reality, a blow that sometimes kills
And when I drop it lyrically
Worlds evolve generically
And I don’t ever need to collapse in tears
And I could curse your timin’
Thunderously mimin’
And I feel young beyond my years

[Chorus]
Whatever my imagination throws
So rugged, growin’ rose
When my eyes do close
When my eyes do close
When they close
