Close My Eyes

I was wayward child
 With the weight of the world that I held deep inside
 Life was a winding road
 And I learned many things little ones shouldn't know
 But I closed my eyes
 Steadied my feet on the ground
 Raised my head to the sky
 And though time's rolled by
 Still I feel like that child as I look at the moon
 Maybe I grew up a little too soon
 La la la da da
 La la la da da da da
 La la la da da
 Da da, da da
 La la la da da
 La la la da da da da
 La la la da da
 Da da, da da
 Funny how one can learn
 To grow numb to the madness and block it away (block it away)
 I left the worst unsaid
 Let it all dissipate and I try to forget
 But I closed my eyes
 Steadied my feet on the ground
 Raised my head to the sky
 And though time's rolled by
 Still feel like that child as I look at the moon
 Maybe I grew up a little too soon
 La la la da da
 La la la da da da da
 La la la da da
 Da da, da da
 La la la da da
 La la la da da da da
 La la la da da
 Da da, da da
 Nearing the edge (nearing the edge)
 Oblivious I almost (oblivious)
 Fell right over (fell right over)
 A part of me (a part of me)
 Will never be quite able (will never be)
 To feel stable (will never be)
 That woman-child falling inside (that woman-child)
 Was on the verge of fading (I)
 Thankfully I (thankfully I)
 Woke up in time (woke up in time, time, time)
 Guardian angel, I
 Sail away on an ocean
 With you by my side
 Orange clouds roll by
 They burn into your image
 And you're still alive (you're always alive)
 But I closed my eyes
 Steadied my feet on the ground
 Raised my head to the sky
 And though time's rolls by
 Still feel like that child as I look at the moon
 Maybe I grew up a little too soon
