Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl, it's been a long, long time comin' yes it has
But I, I know that it's been worth the wait yeah

It feels like Christmas in June
It feels like heaven has opened up it's gates for me and you yeah

And every time I close my eyes

I thank the Lord that I've got you (that I've got you) yeah

Overall Meaning

The song "Close Your Eyes" by G.Ä.G is a heartfelt ode to a lover who has been long-awaited. The opening line, "Girl, it's been a long, long time coming, yes it has", signifies that the singer has patiently waited for the right person to enter his life, and now that he has found her, he believes that the wait has been worth it. The first verse describes the joy and happiness that the relationship brings, and the singer compares it to a beautiful season or occasion: "It feels like springtime in winter, it feels like Christmas in June, it feels like heaven has opened up its gates for me and you." This imagery highlights the wonder and miracle of finding love after a long and difficult search.

The chorus of the song expresses the singer's gratitude and disbelief that he has found someone so special. He thanks the Lord for giving him this person, and notes that every time he thinks of it, he pinches himself to see if it's real. The second verse reinforces the idea that this relationship is a dream come true, and that being with this person feels like a blessing. The bridge of the song is the most emotional, as the singer reflects on all the nights he spent crying himself to sleep, wishing for someone like his current partner. He tells her that she means everything to him, and that it is only right that she be in his life. The last repetition of the chorus solidifies the sentiment that the singer can't believe that someone like his partner could possibly love him back.

Interpretation of the song might suggest that the singer had been searching for the perfect partner, and after a long search, he has finally found her. He is grateful for her presence in his life, and he cherishes her every moment. The song's lyrics express the feelings of happiness and confidence in this relationship, and the singer is willing to embrace the person as they are.
