I Can't Get Close Enough
Exile Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I could only show you
How strong my passion is for you
But every time I've tried to tell you
I can't find the right words to say
No matter how hard I keep trying
I just haven't found a way
I can't get close enough, I can't get close enough to you
Just holding you tight, all night, doesn't seem to do
I can't get near enough, I can't get near enough of you
But you know that, it's a good kind of thing I'm going through
Everywhere, I would go everywhere
Right beside you, if that would prove my love for you
Wherever you lead, I would follow, it makes no difference, you see
I'd give anything to make you understand how much you mean to me
I can't get close enough, I can't get close enough to you
Just holding you tight, all night, doesn't seem to do
I can't get near enough, I can't get near enough of you
But you know that, it's a good kind of thing I'm going through
Oh, I can't get close enough, I can't get close enough to you
Just holding you tight, all night, doesn't seem to do
I can't get near enough, I can't get near enough of you
But you know that, it's a good kind of thing I'm going through
But you know that, it's a good kind of thing I'm going through
Got to get closer, near enough, near enough for you
(Oh, I've got to get closer)
Close enough, got to get closer, near enough, near enough
(Near enough for you)
Close enough, got to get closer
Near enough for you
Close enough, got to get closer
(Oh, I've got to get closer)
Near enough
(Near enough)

The singer is willing to do anything to show how much they care, including going anywhere with their loved one and following them no matter where they lead. The chorus emphasizes the central theme of the song, stating that the singer can't seem to get close enough to their loved one, even when they are holding them tight all night.
The lyrics can be interpreted as an expression of the depth and intensity of the singer's love, and the frustration of not being able to fully convey it. The song captures the feeling of being so in love with someone that no matter how close you are, it never feels close enough. The repetition of the lines "I can't get close enough, I can't get near enough" reinforces this idea of longing and desire for intimacy.
Overall, "I Can't Get Close Enough" is a heartfelt love song that expresses the intense emotions that come with being in love. The lyrics convey both the beauty and the struggle of love, and the longing for physical, emotional, and spiritual closeness with the one you love.
