Close My Eyes (with theajsound)

by Paul The Kid

/

about

Close My Eyes is a collab drawing from Paul The Kid's reggae and modern rap influences and theajsound's pop and soul influences.

Close My Eyes came about after AJ replied to Paul's insta story previewing the chorus. Paul sent AJ through the track and he thought it could go in a really interesting direction by switching the chords up dramatically. Paul was unsure, but after AJ sent through his stems, and after smoothing the transition by building the ending into a hypnotic church like chant the beat switch turned the chorus into something anthemic and nostalgic in feeling.

Paul and AJ both took the song to another level by coming together, something only a collab could produce.

lyrics

LYRICS:

I close my eyes so God won’t look my way
I close my eyes so God won’t look my way

I close my eyes so God won’t look my way
My way
God won’t look my way
I close my eyes so God won’t look my way
My way

I’ve been spending time alone meditating
When I should be out there looking for joy
Getting angry over nothing like a politician
Always back and forth like a toy

All the pressure to cook is boiling up
And I should mellow out and I would
But I gotta get it done
Woah oh
I didn’t put my life into this just to run

I close my eyes so God won’t look my way
My way
God won’t look my way
I close my eyes so God won’t look my way
My way
God won’t look my way
I close my eyes so God won’t look my way
My way
God won’t look my way

I close my eyes so God won’t look my way
He said he want the best for me, my best be out in space
I been flying ‘round for days
Putting off the plans I had before they made
Woah

I close my eyes so God won’t look my way
I close my eyes so God won’t look my way


Always dizzy and my tummy acid burning
Like fireworks on 4th of July
Imma go and hit the doctor after lockdown
Gotta go and see just want is prescribed
Always tell ‘em truth cause when you don’t you’ll burned
And then your bridge will be ruined
So you gotta hide away
You’ll never learn your lesson gotta turn and face the pain

I close my eyes so God won’t look my way
My way
God won’t look my way
I close my eyes so God won’t look my way
My way
God won’t look my way
I close my eyes so God won’t look my way
My way
God won’t look my way
I close my eyes so God won’t look my way
