27 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, all the things
That I hold
That I hold onto
So I can feel, I can feel
I just want to see you
Oh, all the things
That I hold
I hold onto
So I can feel, I can feel
I just want to see you




I just want to see your face
I just want to touch your face

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 27's song Closer to You convey a sense of yearning and longing for someone the singer has not seen in a while. The repetition of the phrase "all the things that I hold" suggests that the singer is holding onto memories or objects that remind them of the person they miss. The line "so I can feel, I can feel" implies that these things provide a sense of comfort and emotional connection to the absent person. However, despite this, the ultimate desire is to physically be in the presence of the person they long for, expressed through the line "I just want to see your face, I just want to touch your face".


The song captures a relatable sentiment of missing someone and the ache that can come with it. The simple yet effective lyrics and melody convey a sense of vulnerability and honesty. It is a soothing ballad that can offer comfort to those experiencing separation from loved ones.
