Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just wanna be close to you
The way you look in the morning
I can see your face and your daze
The way
(The way, the way)
Always has so to say, to say
With you my king is where I belong
Our castle is beautiful and strong
I just wanna be close to you
I just wanna be close to you
How you own this body
Smoke your cigarette
Sing to me in bed the way
(The way, the way)
You hold me like you're protecting your throne
I'll be your queen we'll fit so well
Yet near me darling is where dwell
I just wanna be close to you
I just wanna be close to you
You say I'm talking and laughing I'm not
Breakfast in bed, have a play pillow fight
We'll hang like homies 'cause you're best friend
I know I'm safe just as long as I feel your skin
Not that I need I'm secure with myself
Space, trust, and respect I understand well
Baby, I just see such beauty in you
That I need is being close too
If near me, darling, is where you dwell
I wanna be close to you, you, you, you
I just wanna be close to you
(Oh, oh)
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, dat
I just wanna be close to you
I just wanna be close to you
