I Cant 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 lyrics to Exile's song "I Can't Get Close Enough" speak to the frustration of loving someone deeply but feeling as though it's impossible to convey that love in a meaningful way. The singer is desperate to show their passion to the person they love, but no matter how hard they try, they just can't seem to find the right words to say. It's a common feeling for those who are deeply in love — the sense that words simply can't do justice to the depth of their emotions.
The singer expresses a desire to be physically close to their loved one as well, but even that doesn't seem to be enough. They want to be right beside the person they love, to follow them wherever they lead, because that's how much they mean to them. Holding them tight all night is nice, but it still feels insufficient when compared to the intensity of the love they feel.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the frustration and beauty of loving someone deeply. It's a reminder that sometimes, no matter how eloquent our words or how close we feel, it can be difficult to express the depth of our emotions.
