Chris Smith - Close My Eyes lyrics

[Verse 1: Zachh.] Every day I wake up And I think about the luck That I've had, since I was a lad Sitting in my dad's truck I've gotten so big, from eating like a pig Cause I was a growing boy, and I still am I can dig But I find it amazing, that I didn't know about this raging Or these wars, or this crime Wasn't cause I was lazy It's cause I was little just everyone was once But I was so brittle and I didn't know a bunch I can't even imagine being so oblivious again It was like that up to probably age ten But that was then, in my crib or play pen And that was in the past, and it's gone by so fast Seems like yesterday, I was in my second grade cla** Doing every single task that my teacher asked But if you're not blind, then you know me And you can see that... [Hook: Chris Smith] Seemed to have gone so fast Didn't realize my younger years wouldn't last I'm way older now and I'm pretty glad To have the world more open to me and I'm not sad Not crazy nor insane and not mad And I close my eyes and accept the past Cause this is a new step in my life So raise the mast Time to set sail at last [Verse 2: Zachh.] I told myself when I was little When I wanted a name like Skittle Holy crap, my life it'll... Here I am in high school it's the middle Of junior high, when I was so young To college next, like the aging sun They said they wanted to see how they run To all the people I know and love, that's no pun Cause I can't believe I'm at this degree Getting my license soon, I'm fifteen it's me I love it all, so C-T teens stand tall From my school, Fairfield Prep, or Laurelton Hall Spread the word about Zachh., y'all Cause five years ago I was nothing Showed the first song to my mom I was loving I'm not bluffing, something that I believed in Trying to join a game that they blow trees in And I don't do d**, but take out those ear plugs Cause I'm finally getting recognized Never knew but now I realize If I look out my real eyes I've got hopes, and you can't steal mine When I was younger, I was in a slumber Of being shy, fall, winter, and summer And it was a bummer But it's all gone now, and I'm doing this for free No cash cow Apart from this music, with these home videos It's strange to see what I've become, you know? Cause I'll show, yo [Hook: Chris Smith] [Verse 3/Outro.: Zachh.] Because Life doesn't stop But I won't start to flop Even though I know about the world f** it, there's a top I'm trying to reach, but if you hear me preach Then know you'll find me at the beach Because Life doesn't stop But I won't start to flop Even though I know about the world f** it, there's a top I'm trying to reach, but if you hear me preach Then know you'll find me at the beach Zachh
