If you’d close your eyes I wouldn’t have to.
I could just pretend that you’re not there.
When I feel too much that’s what I do.
So in my mind I could be anywhere.

If I close my eyes and count to ten
is there a chance that you might disappear?
If you didn’t then I don’t know why you wouldn’t
‘cause you’ve got everywhere to be but here.

It’s hard to do the show with someone watching
while you try to tell them how you feel inside.
When Townes Van Zandt sang Poncho and Lefty
he opened up his heart and closed his eyes.

If you’d close your eyes you’d hear me better.
Maybe everything but us would fade away.
I could stay here in the dark with you forever
and sing the words the words that I could never say.

It’s hard to do the show with someone watching
while you try to tell them how you feel inside.
When Townes Van Zandt sang Poncho and Lefty
he opened up his heart and closed his eyes.
