Morgan Wallen‘s somber ballad “Eyes Are Closed” dropped on May 16, 2025 as part of his expansive fourth studio album, I’m the Problem, released under Big Loud / Republic / Mercury Records.
With co-writers John Byron, Blake Pendergrass, and Ryan Vojtesak, and producers Jacob Durrett and Joey Moi, the track blends acoustic guitar, trap beats, and raw vocals to capture the pain of lingering love. Lyrically, Wallen wrestles with memories of an ex—wondering if she still thinks of him “when her eyes are closed”—especially when she’s with someone else.
Critics have noted “Eyes Are Closed” as one of the more emotionally resonant tracks on the album. Fans also love that Wallen’s young son, Indigo, asked him to play the demo again—making it one of the first songs of his to catch his child’s ear. For your blog readers, this is a great track to spotlight—stream it, embed the video, and tease emotional quotes.
morgan wallen – eyes are closed lyrics
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?
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 will 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? (Ooh, oh)
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?
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 will 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?
‘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?
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 will 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?
