Just close your eyes
Soon we'll be home
Fall asleep to the radio
Strangers pass by
Red, green, and gold
I wonder what they're all waiting for

I was just a kid
Dreams were looking big and then I had to grow up
No one ever says
All the love you give might not be enough
Broke my heart in two a couple times
Before it hurt too much
I was such a fool
Didn't know the rules of playing make believe
Didn't know that getting old would come and meet me

Wishing on a star
Waiting on a car
To take me away
And my mom would say

"Just close your eyes
Soon we'll be home
Fall asleep to the radio"
Strangers pass by
Red, green, and gold
I wonder what they're all waiting for
Just close your eyes
Just close your eyes

Ah, ah
Ah, ah

Living day to day
Weeks become the same
Everything's a blur
What's it gonna take?
What's the final say?
Is this all worth it?

Wishing on a star
Waiting on a car
To take me away
And my mom would say

"Just close your eyes
Soon we'll be home
Fall asleep to the radio"
Strangers pass by
Red, green, and gold
I wonder what they're all waiting for
Just close your eyes
Just close your eyes

Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
