Close My Eyes
[Verse 1: Zachh.]
Every day I wake up
And I think about the luck
That I've had, since I was a lad
Sitting in my dad's truck
I've gotten so big, from eating like a pig
Cause I was a growing boy, and I still am I can dig
But I find it amazing, that I didn't know about this raging
Or these wars, or this crime
Wasn't cause I was lazy
It's cause I was little just everyone was once
But I was so brittle and I didn't know a bunch
I can't even imagine being so oblivious again
It was like that up to probably age ten
But that was then, in my crib or play pen
And that was in the past, and it's gone by so fast
Seems like yesterday, I was in my second grade class
Doing every single task that my teacher asked
But if you're not blind, then you know me
And you can see that...
[Hook: Chris Smith]
Seemed to have gone so fast
Didn't realize my younger years wouldn't last
I'm way older now and I'm pretty glad
To have the world more open to me and I'm not sad
Not crazy nor insane and not mad
And I close my eyes and accept the past
Cause this is a new step in my life
So raise the mast
Time to set sail at last

[Verse 2: Zachh.]
I told myself when I was little
When I wanted a name like Skittle
Holy crap, my life it'll...
Here I am in high school it's the middle
Of junior high, when I was so young
To college next, like the aging sun
They said they wanted to see how they run
To all the people I know and love, that's no pun
Cause I can't believe I'm at this degree
Getting my license soon, I'm fifteen it's me
I love it all, so C-T teens stand tall
From my school, Fairfield Prep, or Laurelton Hall
Spread the word about Zachh., y'all
Cause five years ago I was nothing
Showed the first song to my mom I was loving
I'm not bluffing, something that I believed in
Trying to join a game that they blow trees in
And I don't do drugs, but take out those ear plugs
Cause I'm finally getting recognized
Never knew but now I realize
If I look out my real eyes
I've got hopes, and you can't steal mine
When I was younger, I was in a slumber
Of being shy, fall, winter, and summer
And it was a bummer
But it's all gone now, and I'm doing this for free
No cash cow
Apart from this music, with these home videos
It's strange to see what I've become, you know?
Cause I'll show, yo
[Hook: Chris Smith]

[Verse 3/Outro.: Zachh.]
Because
Life doesn't stop
But I won't start to flop
Even though I know about the world
Fuck it, there's a top
I'm trying to reach, but if you hear me preach
Then know you'll find me at the beach
Because
Life doesn't stop
But I won't start to flop
Even though I know about the world
Fuck it, there's a top
I'm trying to reach, but if you hear me preach
Then know you'll find me at the beach
