Close Your Eyes - Kings Of John Payne lyrics

First 5 minutes go too fast, hold that moment and make it last. 'Cos nothing can buy back time and lately I've been looking back on my life. All my friends, they always pulled through for me, and I know that they'd all say the same. So if this world ever takes your faith when you need it most, know after all these years, some things never change. I can't remember exactly when it made me feel nostalgic, but the songs on my car stereo have started taking me way back in time. When my friends and I had 20 notes between us; no one knew what the future held or where our lives would lead us. I never had a silver spoon, I was careful not to peak too soon. We've had a lot of up's and down's. I'm glad I stuck with you. 'Cos all my friends, they always pulled through for me and I know that they'd all say the same. So if this world ever takes your faith when you need it most, know after all these years, some things never change. I've never had friends like the ones I met when I was 12. I mean, hey, has anyone? I still remember all those years and I go back to find that familiar sensation with nothing but the limits of my own imagination. Let me be a face in the crowd 'cos I'm not ready for this to be over. Take me the long way around to the sound of the summer with all my friends. They always pulled through for me and I know that they'd all say the same. So if this world ever takes your faith when you need it most, know after all these years, some things never change. It could be a while before we see each other again. It could be a while, we'll see each other again. And it'll be like it's always been, 'cos time and dis- tance don't mean anything. We were the Kings of John Payne, I'll never forget it. And though we go our separate ways, I still think about those glory days. We were the renegades in the heat of the summer. Just 'cos I can't see it, doesn't mean it's gone. Time can't touch it, the feelings strong. But if this world ever takes your faith when you need it most, know after all these years some things never change.
