Closer To Me
Frank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On your own sometime today
I'm looking to somebody, yeah
Gotta hold some down today
BRIDGE
And I should've known that was something to do-oo
And I should've known better when I'm dancing with you-oo
So listen when I say, I'll never love again, no don't go, damn it's you
CHORUS
Closer to me, you get so closer to me
You take me higher than I need so don't go never
You get closer to me, you get so close I can't breathe
You're getting higher than I need so don't go never
CODA 1
You're giving me the wrong girl, understand
Your loving made me up down, in your hand
Cos? all I need to bring me on the floor
Your love has only made me want you more
CODA 2
Ooooh-ooh, oh baby I love you
Ooooh-ooh, yeah that's how I feel
Ooooh-ooh, oh, baby I love you
Ooooh-ooh, now I'm breaking the deal
Ostinato Coda 2 and Chorus to fade
The song "Closer To Me" by Frank is a catchy pop track that tells the story of being attracted to someone and feeling closer to them as the relationship progresses. The opening lines of the song indicate the strong attraction the singer feels towards the person they are singing to, acknowledging that they want each other and that they should spend some time alone together. The bridge is a moment of self-awareness, the singer regrets not knowing better when danced with this person, implying that there might be something dodgy about the other person that they were not aware of initially. The use of the phrase “with a little magic, I guess that I do,” highlights a sense of uncertainty and insecurity in the relationship, perhaps indicating that there is a lack of trust or a lack of clarity about the other person's motives.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the increasing closeness between the two people and how the relationship is getting stronger by the day. The lyrics suggest that their bond is so strong that the singer doesn't want the other person to leave or go away. This theme is further emphasized in the coda of the song, which talks about how the love they share is making the singer feel things that they've never felt before, how they are unable to resist the other person and how they are falling deeply in love with them.

[Verse]
I'll be honest, I wasn't devastated
But you could've held my hands through this, baby
Let my mind run underneath warm jets
I run my hands through what's left
But we're getting older, baby
Don’t have much longer baby
Why am I preaching?
To this choir, to this atheist
Just like mine, versions of these belong to you
After a while, they're keeping me close to you
(Just like me, they long to be close to you)
