Across the miles
It's funny to me
How far you are but how
Near you seem to be
I could talk all night
I could spend my life
Just living this dream
You're all I'll ever need
You give me strength
You give me hope
You give me someone to love someone to hold
When I'm in your arms
I need you to know
I've never been
I've never been this close
With all the loves
I used to know
I kept my distance I never let go
But in your arms I know I'm safe
'Cause I've never been held
And I've never been kissed in this way
Ohhh You're all I'll ever need
You're all I'll ever need
You give me strength
You give me hope
You give me someone to love someone to hold
When I'm in your arms
I need you to know
I've never been
I've never been this close
Close enough to see it's true
Close enough to trust in you
Closer now than any words can say - yeah
And when, when I'm in your arms,
I need you to know I've never been
I've never been this close
You give me strength
You give me hope
You give me someone to love someone to hold
When I'm in your arms
I need you to know
I've never been
I've never been
Oh no I swear
I've never been
I've never been this close
The song "Close" by Westlife is a ballad about a person who is in a long-distance relationship, but their connection is so strong that they feel like their loved one is with them even when they are far away. The first verse describes how despite the physical distance, the emotional connection between them feels so intense that they feel close. The second verse uses contrast to express how the singer feels safe and vulnerable in their partner's arms. They have never felt this way before, which is why the person is the only one they ever want and need.
The chorus accentuates how their relationship has brought a newfound strength and hope to the singer's life, and when they are in their partner's arms, they never want to let them go. The bridge indicates how close they are to each other and how their bond is stronger than words can express. The song ends with reaffirming that they have never been this close to anyone else and never want to be.
The song's overall message is that physical proximity does not determine the depth of a connection between two people. Even though they are apart, their love transcends distance and brings them together in ways that make their bond stronger than ever before. This song resonates with anyone who has ever been in a long-distance relationship and understands the challenges and rewards of loving someone from afar.

Oh damn, oh damn, oh damn
I'm so perplexed
With just one breath, I'm locked in
Oh damn, oh damn, oh damn
I'm so perplexed
On that, it's almost shocking
I know, I know you know you're scared
Your heart, your mind, your soul, your body
They won't, they won't, they won't be careful
But I guess that you don't know me
Cause if I want you, and I want you, babe
Ain't going backwards, won't ask for space
Cause space is just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get too...
Close, ooh
Oh, so close, ooh
I want you close, ooh
Cause space is just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get close, ooh
Oh, so close, ooh
I want you close, ooh
Oh, I want you close, and close ain't close enough, no
Oh man, oh man
I am not really known for ever being speechless
But now, but now somehow
My words roll off my tongue right onto your lips, oh
I'm keeping cool while you keep smiling
Saying all the things I'm thinking
Oh man, oh man
I am like you so I want proof of what you're feeling
Cause if I want you, and I want you, babe
Ain't going backwards, won't ask for space
Cause space is just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get too...
Close, ooh
Oh, so close, ooh
I want you close, ooh
Cause space was just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get close, ooh
Oh, so close, ooh
I want you close, ooh
Oh, I want you close, and close ain't close enough, no
Cause if I want you, and I want you, babe
Ain't going backwards, won't ask for space
Cause space was just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get too... close
Close, ooh
Oh, so close, ooh
I want you close, ooh
Cause space was just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get close, ooh
Oh, so close, ooh
