Pull Me Closer
Bob Fitts Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

hey
i was doing
just fine before i met you
i drink too much
and thats an issue but im ok.
hey
tell your friends
it was nice to meet them

but i hope i never see them again
i know it breaks your heart
move to the city with that broke down car and
four years don't call
and now your looking pretty
in a hotel bar and
i, i, i can't stop
no I, i, I can't stop

SOO BABY pull me closer
in the back seat of your Rover
that i know you can't afford
bite that tattoo on your shoulder
pull the sheet back off the corner
I'm the mattress that you stole

from your roommate back in Boulder
we ain't never getting older

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Pull Me Closer" by Bob Fitts expresses an uncontainable desire between two people who are inevitably drawn to each other. The song takes us on a journey of romance, hidden pain, and the struggle of facing one's insecurities. The first few lines of the song detail the relationship the singer has with alcohol, seemingly insinuating that it could be a coping mechanism of some sort. The singer then goes on to express his apprehension about meeting the partner's friends. However, the partner’s beauty seems to overshadow his worries - this phrase, "now you're looking pretty in a hotel bar" implies that the partner is using her beauty to distract herself from her problems.

The chorus holds the heart of the song, with the singer expressing that he wants to be pulled closer and ravished by his partner - this is further evidenced by the line about biting the tattoo on her shoulder. The following words talk about how the singer has become the stole bed of his partner, referring to how physically close they become. The final line, “we ain't never getting hold” suggests that they want to continue living in the moment instead of growing old.

I would like you to pull me closer to you, in the back seat of your Rover that you can barely afford. Let's enjoy the moment, and I would like to remind you that I am the mattress you took from your fellow student in Boulder. We will never get old, and our memories will last forever.
