2 CLOSE
01 OFFICE - Pool Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All in all yea when I get up I'm so fed up doin' none of what I liked back in the days when I was younger I was stronger. And everything I want is you.

Take another chance on us
Oh The minute I saw you
The moment I got too close (your love)
Take another chance on us
Oh The minute I saw you
The moment I got

Too close
Too close to love

All what's left is us at the movies holding hands and just pretending what I miss is something different like having cereals in bed together. And everything I want is you.

Take another chance on us
Oh The minute I saw you
The moment I got too close (your love)
Take another chance on us
Oh The minute I saw you
The moment I got
Too close
Too close to love

Looking past me looking past you when our paths cross now that I know
If we go far we will see if we are close (enough to belong) still everything I want is you.

Take another chance on us
Oh The minute I saw you
The moment I got too close (your love)
Take another chance on us
Oh The minute I saw you
The moment I got

Too close
Too close to love

Overall Meaning

In "2 Close," the lyrics open with a reflection on personal dissatisfaction and nostalgia. The singer expresses a sense of disillusionment with their current life, indicating a heaviness in their heart as they wake up feeling "fed up." There’s a longing for the past, where youthfulness was accompanied by strength and enthusiasm. This theme of reminiscence serves as a backdrop for the singer's current feelings of yearning for a profound connection, suggesting that despite the struggles, their ultimate desire revolves around one particular person—their love. The repetition of “everything I want is you” emphasizes the singular focus of their affections amidst broader feelings of distress.

As the lyrics progress, the singer invites this person to "take another chance on us," revealing a hope for rekindling a relationship that may have dulled over time. The idea of closeness is pivotal; the singer associates the physical proximity of being "too close" with an emotional vulnerability that stems from love. This juxtaposition of longing and the fear of intimacy seems to underline a complex emotional landscape where the sweetness of first encounters—a moment marked by attraction and discovery—is contrasted with the potential complications of deepening a relationship.

The imagery in the lyrics paints a picture of ordinary yet intimate shared moments, like holding hands at the movies or enjoying breakfast in bed, that the singer yearns for. These poignant details reflect not just a desire for love but also for a shared life—simple, everyday joys that signify companionship and tenderness. The mention of wanting a reality that feels different from their current situation introduces a sense of aching nostalgia for a connection that feels more genuine and less fraught with complication. It enhances the idea that love, while often wonderful, can also be layered with challenges and unmet expectations.

Ultimately, the song encapsulates the tension between desire and the complexities of love. The singer acknowledges the potential distance when paths cross yet remains hopeful that they can still find that closeness, which they crave deeply. The cyclical nature of the lyrics—with its repetitive call to "take another chance"—fuels the earnestness of their plea. There’s an implication that love is worth revisiting, despite past wounds or misunderstandings. The continuous assertion that "everything I want is you" acts as an emotional anchor, grounding the singer's feelings in the certainty and simplicity of their love for that one person, even in the face of uncertainty about their future together.
