"Eyes Closed" lyrics
"Eyes Closed"
I know it's a bad idea
But how can I help myself?
Been inside for most this year
And I thought a few drinks, they might help
It's been a while, my dear
Dealing with the cards life dealt
I'm still holding back these tears
While my friends are somewhere else
I pictured this year a little bit different
When it hit February
I step in the bar, it hit me so hard
Oh, how can it be this heavy?
Every song reminds me you're gone
And I feel the lump form in my throat
'Cause I'm here alone
Just dancing with my eyes closed
'Cause everywhere I look I still see you
And time is moving so slow
And I don't know what else that I can do
So I'll keep dancing with my
Eye-eye-eye-eyes
Eye-eye-eye-eyes closed
Eye-eye-eye-eyes
So I'll keep dancing with my
Delusion is here again
And I think you'll come home soon
A word brings me right back in
Then it's only me that's in this room
I guess I could just pretend
The colours are more than blue
But I lost more than my friend
I can't help but missing you
I pictured this month a little bit different
No one is ever ready
And when it unfolds, you get in a hole
Oh, how can it be this heavy?
Everything changes, nothing's the same
Except the truth is now you're gone
And life just goes on
So I'm dancing with my eyes closed
'Cause everywhere I look I still see you
And time is moving so slow
And I don't know what else that I can do
So I'll keep dancing with my
Eye-eye-eye-eyes
Eye-eye-eye-eyes closed
Eye-eye-eye-eyes
So I'll keep dancing with my
Eye-eye-eye-eyes
Eye-eye-eye-eyes closed
Eye-eye-eye-eyes
Oh, I keep dancing with my
They're shutting the bar
They're cleaning the floor
And everyone is already home
But I'm on my own
Still dancing with my eyes closed
'Cause everywhere I look I still see you
Time is moving so slow
And I don't know what else that I can do
So I'll keep dancing with my
Eye-eye-eye-eyes
Eye-eye-eye-eyes closed
Eye-eye-eye-eyes
Oh, I keep dancing with my
Eye-eye-eye-eyes
Eye-eye-eye-eyes closed
Eye-eye-eye-eyes
Oh, I keep dancing with my

"Eyes Closed" is the lead single from Ed Sheeran's fifth studio album, "-". The song was premiered on March 24, 2023, accompanied by the
music video.
This track is a trubute to one of Ed Sheeran's friends, Jamal: he died in February of 2022. Sheeran posted on TikTok on the 15th of March, 2023, "This song is about losing someone, feeling like every time you go out I expect to just bump into them, and everything just reminds me of them and the things you did together. You sorta have to take yourself out of reality sometimes to numb the pain of loss, but certain things just bring you right back into it. Blue was Jamals colour, but now is all I feel. And I guess music helps heal, so I'm dancing with my eyes closed to try get through it."
