“Eyes Shut”
By Years & Years
Throw your heart to me
Let it fall and hit the ground
Let it go
Your timing was so wrong
I just want to be found
And ooh
And I
Yeah, I've got the lines
I've got the lines
Oh it's brighter this time
This type of mine
This disguise
Oh you talk, ooh, to me
Chorus
Well, nothing's gonna hurt me
With my eyes shut
I can see through them
I am drawing pictures
I'm evading
I will not use them
Again
And it starts again
You come over with your friends
I don't wanna talk to them
And all I really want
Is to start again
(Chorus)
