Closer To You
Beta 2 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
do you see my face
sad behind a smile
fake it for awhile
tell me what should
i do?
can i get closer to you
cant i get an answer from you
show me a sign
here i stand with my
heart in my hands
and all i do
to get closer to you
As i stand alone
sinking like a stone
you can save me now
i can't live without
tell me what should i
do?
can i get closer to you
tell me the truth
cant i get an answer from you
show me a sign
here i stand with my
heart in my hands
and all i do
to get closer to you
If you walked my way
would you see my face?
can i get closer to you
tell me the truth
cant i get an answer from you
show me a sign
here i stand with my
heart in my hands
and all i do
to get closer to you
to get closer to you
and all i you
to get closer to you
and all i you
closer to you
and all i you
The lyrics to "Closer to You" by Beta 2 are a plea for connection and honesty from someone the singer is interested in. The first verse sets the tone, as the singer hints at hidden sadness behind a smile and asks what they should do. There's a sense of desperation and frustration as they wonder whether they can get closer to the person they're addressing, and whether that person will tell the truth or give them any answer at all. The second verse is even more desperate, with the singer feeling alone and sinking like a stone, and begging for some kind of rescue. The repetition of the chorus throughout the song emphasizes the singer's desire to connect, and the ambiguity of whether the other person will reciprocate that desire.
Overall, the lyrics to "Closer to You" are a relatable expression of wanting to be seen and loved for who we are, rather than feeling like we have to fake a smile or hide our true emotions. The repeated refrain of "Can I get closer to you?" reflects the anxiety many of us feel about whether we'll be rejected or accepted by the people we care about, and the vulnerability of putting our hearts on the line.
