About Eyes Closed

“Eyes Closed” is a heartfelt track that describes the emotions you face when losing an important person in your life. It is written about one of Ed’s closest friends, Jamal, who sadly died from a sudden heart attack in February 2022. Ed, however, dedicates the track to anyone that has lost a close friend or loved one and says that the song now belongs to us. The lyrics reflect the fact that no matter what he does, everything reminds him of the things they did together .

Eyes Closed Lyrics

[00:08.87] I know it's a bad idea
[00:11.26] But how can I help myself?
[00:13.64] Been inside for most this year
[00:15.86] And I thought a few drinks, they might help
[00:18.32] It's been a while, my dear
[00:20.46] Dealin' with the cards life dealt
[00:22.58] I'm still holdin' back these tears
[00:24.86] While my friends are somewhere else
[00:27.25] I pictured this year a little bit different, wedded in February
[00:31.53] I step in the bar, it hit me so hard, oh, how can it be this heavy?
[00:36.15] Every song reminds me you're gone, and I feel the lump form in my throat
[00:41.20] 'Cause I'm here alone
[00:43.18] Just dancin' with my eyes closed
[00:47.84] 'Cause everywhere I look, I still see you
[00:52.29] And time is movin' so slow
[00:56.83] And I don't know what else that I can do
[01:00.68] So I'll keep dancin' with my
[01:03.31] Eye-eye-eye-eyes
[01:05.46] Eye-eye-eye-eyes closed
[01:07.55] Eye-eye-eye-eyes
[01:09.86] So I'll keep dancin' with my-
[01:11.92] Delusion is here again
[01:13.95] And I think you'll come home soon
[01:16.33] A word brings me right back in
[01:18.52] Then it's only me that's in this room
[01:20.94] I guess I could just pretend
[01:22.90] The colours are more than blue
[01:25.20] But I lost more than my friend
[01:27.61] I can't help but missin' you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
[01:29.92] I pictured this month a little bit different, no one is ever ready
[01:34.33] And when it unfolds, you get in a hole, oh, how can it be this heavy?
[01:39.09] Everything changes, nothing's the same, except the truth is now you're gone
[01:44.38] And life just goes on
[01:45.97] So I'm dancin' with my eyes closed
[01:50.85] 'Cause everywhere I look, I still see you
[01:55.10] And time is movin' so slow
[01:59.43] And I don't know what else that I can do
[02:03.44] So I'll keep dancin' with my
[02:06.16] Eye-eye-eye-eyes
[02:08.09] Eye-eye-eye-eyes closed
[02:10.58] Eye-eye-eye-eyes
[02:12.50] So I'll keep dancin' with my
[02:14.79] Eye-eye-eye-eyes
[02:17.06] Eye-eye-eye-eyes closed
[02:19.15] Eye-eye-eye-eyes
[02:21.40] Oh, I keep dancin' with my-
[02:23.89] They're shutting the bar, they're cleanin' the floor, and everyone is already home
[02:29.13] But I'm on my own
[02:31.80] Still dancin' with my eyes closed
[02:36.56] 'Cause everywhere I look, I still see you
[02:41.09] Time is movin' so slow
[02:45.47] And I don't know what else that I can do
[02:49.69] So I'll keep dancin' with my
[02:51.94] Eye-eye-eye-eyes
[02:53.80] Eye-eye-eye-eyes closed
[02:56.41] Eye-eye-eye-eyes
[02:58.49] Oh, I keep dancin' with my
[03:00.81] Eye-eye-eye-eyes
[03:02.92] Eye-eye-eye-eyes closed
[03:05.30] Eye-eye-eye-eyes
[03:07.33] Oh, I keep dancin' with my-
[03:08.95]
