Eyes Are Closed (The Shop Sessions) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the tears get to fallin’, do you miss my shoulder?
When the nights get cold, do you still reach over?
Do you dodge everywhere, everythin’ that reminds you
Or do you point your wheels down memory lane like I do?

[Chorus]
When you’re crawlin’ into bed with the guy you chose
Instead of spendin’ Saturday night alone
Tell me, am I still where your mind’ll go?
Who do you see when your eyes are closed?
‘Cause baby, I can tell ya, it’s you for me
No one else can do the things you do for me
Can you feel me in the air, baby, like a ghost?
Who do you see when your eyes are closed?

[Verse 2]
Do you dream on back to our up all nighters?
When my smart-ass mouth made the world feel lighter
When you said we were done, did you really mean maybe?
Or am I the only one, am I just plain crazy, baby?

[Chorus]
When you’re crawlin’ into bed with the guy you chose
Instead of spendin’ Saturday night alone
Tell me, am I still where your mind’ll go?
Who do you see when your eyes are closed?
‘Cause baby, I can tell ya, it’s you for me
No one else can do the things you do for me
Can you feel me in the air, baby, like a ghost?
Who do you see when your eyes are closed?
Who do you see when your eyes are closed?

[Bridge]
Cause I can’t get you outta my brain these days
Even for a night
I can feel you here, can you feel me there?
Now and then, or every time?

[Chorus]
When you’re crawlin’ into bed with the guy you chose
Instead of spendin’ Saturday night alone
Tell me, am I still where your mind’ll go?
Who do you see when your eyes are closed?
‘Cause baby, I can tell ya, it’s you for me
No one else can do the things you do for me
Can you feel me in the air, baby, like a ghost?
Who do you see when your eyes are closed?
Who do you see when your eyes are closed?
Who do you see when your eyes are closed?

Eyes Are Closed (The Shop Sessions) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
In this opening verse, Morgan Wallen reflects on the everyday moments where absence is most deeply felt—moments that used to be shared. He wonders if his former partner still longs for the comfort he once offered or if she avoids any reminders of him. The mention of “memory lane” reveals how Wallen actively revisits the past, showing that he’s not just reminiscing but emotionally stuck, hoping she might be doing the same.

[Chorus]
The chorus brings forward Wallen’s torment as he imagines his ex with someone else. Despite her new relationship, he questions whether her thoughts still drift back to him in her quietest, most honest moments—when her eyes are closed. His emotions are raw and exposed, revealing his belief that no one else can match the bond they shared. He portrays himself as a lingering presence, almost ghost-like, emphasizing the unresolved nature of their connection.

[Verse 2]
Here, Wallen dives deeper into nostalgia, recalling the euphoric highs of their relationship—sleepless nights filled with laughter and love. His tone shifts toward desperation as he questions whether her decision to end things was truly final or impulsive. This verse underscores his isolation and emotional vulnerability, hinting that he may be alone in clinging to their past.

[Chorus]
Repeated with added weight, the chorus returns to reinforce Wallen’s unresolved longing and heartache. The consistency of his questions and confessions suggests he’s trapped in a loop of unanswered emotions. Each line intensifies the idea that despite outward appearances, his emotional connection to her remains intact and overwhelming.

[Bridge]
In this section, Wallen confesses the inescapability of his thoughts about her. He is haunted not just by memories, but by the sense that she’s still emotionally present, even if only in his imagination. The uncertainty—whether this is one-sided or mutual—adds to the song’s emotional tension, enhancing the feeling of quiet suffering and romantic ambiguity.

[Chorus]
The final chorus echoes with even more emotional urgency, repeating the same vulnerable questions. Wallen remains fixated on whether she still sees him in her mind, whether he still lingers in the parts of her soul hidden from view. The repetition drives home the song’s central theme: the deep imprint left by a love that won’t let go, even in silence.
