[Verse 1]
There's no need for distance
No need for touch
No need for answers cause I've heard enough
I've just found a chair some place out of reach
I enter the darkness and claim my release
And open my, open my heart
Sing like a nightingale opened my, opened my hands
When no one else understands
[Chorus]
I just close my eyes
And count to ten
Breathe in twice
And open them
Nowhere to go cause I’ve been there before
In my mind it is near
I escape all I fear
So by closing my eyes
I am anywhere but here
[Verse 2]
There's no need for anger
Religion or faith
One blade of grief
Will always remain
It's not on the paper
Or a story book
It's a place to reunite with all that was took
And open my, open my heart
Sing like a nightingale opened my, opened my hands
When no one else understands
[Chorus]
I just close my eyes
And count to ten
Breathe in twice
And open them
Nowhere to go cause I’ve been there before
In my mind it is near
I escape all I fear
So by closing my eyes
I am anywhere but here
[Bridge]
Picture a land where you never have been
Where life is eternal and evergreen
The future of happiness and certainty
You’re loved and you’re lost there for now and eternity
[Chorus]
I just close my eyes
And count to ten
Breathe in twice
And open them
Nowhere to go cause I’ve been there before
In my mind it is near
I escape all I fear
So by closing my eyes
I am anywhere but here
There's no need for distance
No need for touch
No need for answers cause I've heard enough
I've just found a chair some place out of reach
I enter the darkness and claim my release
And open my, open my heart
Sing like a nightingale opened my, opened my hands
When no one else understands
[Chorus]
I just close my eyes
And count to ten
Breathe in twice
And open them
Nowhere to go cause I’ve been there before
In my mind it is near
I escape all I fear
So by closing my eyes
I am anywhere but here
[Verse 2]
There's no need for anger
Religion or faith
One blade of grief
Will always remain
It's not on the paper
Or a story book
It's a place to reunite with all that was took
And open my, open my heart
Sing like a nightingale opened my, opened my hands
When no one else understands
[Chorus]
I just close my eyes
And count to ten
Breathe in twice
And open them
Nowhere to go cause I’ve been there before
In my mind it is near
I escape all I fear
So by closing my eyes
I am anywhere but here
[Bridge]
Picture a land where you never have been
Where life is eternal and evergreen
The future of happiness and certainty
You’re loved and you’re lost there for now and eternity
[Chorus]
I just close my eyes
And count to ten
Breathe in twice
And open them
Nowhere to go cause I’ve been there before
In my mind it is near
I escape all I fear
So by closing my eyes
I am anywhere but here
