It’s hard to see your light
When I met you in the season
With your family away
And an arrow in your reason

I know I’ve been here for the worst part
In the outer cold you wish you’d never been an upstart

With the girl I know
And the worry close
You’re all you’ve got
In the ice and snow

So you’ve been laughing
While it happens with your eyes closed

He left you in the night
You woke up in his sheets then

The world you once had shared
The memories to keep him

And I know you’ve been keeping him alive
But you think he’s been keeping you inside

With the girl I know
And the worry close
You’re all you’ve got
In the ice and snow

So you’ve been laughing
While it happens with your eyes closed

Laughing with your eyes closed

You’re living with the guilt
Of a time you’ve not forgiven

And the home you’ve never built
For a family you’re livin’

And I know that you’ll find no other
Not like him, we’ve got each other

With the girl I know
And the worry close
We’re all we got
In the ice and snow

I’ll keep you laughing, laughing
Laughing with your eyes closed

If you like your world
When you open wide
Just take my hand
When you decide

Until you’re laughing, laughing
Laughing with your eyes closed

Laughing with your eyes closed

It starts with a friendship, it ends with everything. There are people out there who become our lives if we’re not careful. I’ve had that effect, and felt that effect. It’s not helpful in the long run! It’s fun, and it’s a hurricane and a half. Honestly now.
