Close Your Eyes - Kings Of John Payne lyrics

rate me

First five minutes go too fast

Hold that moment and make it last

‘Cause 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 ups and downs, I'm glad I stuck with you

‘Cause 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 twelve

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 ‘cause 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 ‘cause time and distance 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 ‘cause I can't see it doesn't mean it's gone

Time can't touch it, the feeling’s strong

But if this world ever takes your faith when you need it most

Know after all these years some things never change
