Close To Me
Beyonce vs. The Cure Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed asleep today
I never thought this day would end
I never thought tonight could ever be
This close to me
Just try to see in the dark
To feel the fear before you're here
I make the shapes come much too close
I pull my eyes out
Hold my breath and wait until I shake
But if I had your faith
Then I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure
That my head on the door was a dream
I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed asleep today
I never thought this day would end
I never thought tonight could ever be
This close to me
But if I had your face
Then I could make it safe and clean
Oh, if only I was sure
That my head on the door was a dream
The song Close To Me is a collaboration between Beyonce and The Cure. The lyrics depict someone who is anxiously waiting for a certain moment to arrive, making themselves unwell by overthinking and not sleeping well. The singer is afraid of what's to come, and tries to find solace in the mere presence of the one they love. The pain and fear of the unknown keep them up at night, making them feel as if everything is much too close for comfort.
The verse "But if I had your faith, then I could make it safe and clean" could refer to the hope that the singer finds in their loved one's steadfastness. By being close to them, the fear and uncertainty diminishes, making everything feel "safe and clean". However, the singer is not entirely sure if this is all a dream and wishes for a sense of certainty.
Overall, the song is about fear of the unknown and waiting for something or someone to bring comfort and security.

I've waited hours for this
I have eagerly anticipated this moment for an extended period
I've made myself so sick
My excitement has caused me physical and emotional discomfort
I wish I'd stayed asleep today
I regret waking up and facing the day's challenges
I never thought this day would end
I am surprised by how slowly time is progressing
I never thought tonight could ever be
I am amazed by the possibility of the current situation
This close to me
So close that I can feel it almost touching me
Just try to see in the dark
Attempt to gain insight despite a lack of information or visibility
Just try to make it work
Do your best to achieve positive results
To feel the fear before you're here
Experience anxiety before confronting a situation
I make the shapes come much too close
I bring things too near for my own comfort
I pull my eyes out
I push myself to the brink of my abilities
Hold my breath and wait until I shake
Pause to collect myself before continuing
But if I had your faith
If I were as confident and assured as you are
Then I could make it safe and clean
I would be able to successfully navigate this situation with ease
If only I was sure
Only if I could be certain
That my head on the door was a dream
That the obstacles blocking my path were merely an illusion
But if I had your face
If I had your countenance and demeanor
Then I could make it safe and clean
I would be better equipped to handle this situation
Oh, if only I was sure
How I wish for unwavering conviction
That my head on the door was a dream
That this challenge was not truly standing in my way

As a side note Beyonce could be completely naked and her cloths would be not much different then they are.
