Pull Me Close
James and the Drifters Lyrics

Still got your sweatshirt on my floor
The presence of the sweatshirt reminds me of you and makes me want to reach out to you.

Did you leave it there so I’d call you?
I’m not sure if you intentionally left it there to make me contact you or if it was just an accident.

You keep me locked up in this prison
I feel trapped in this moment and unable to move on from our relationship.

Can’t break out now
I am unable to let go of what we had and move forward.

No you don’t let me
I feel like you have some sort of control over my emotions and I can’t help but feel drawn to you.

Run away from you
I have an urge to distance myself from you but something always pulls me back.

I don’t know why
I am unable to comprehend why I feel this way towards you.

You got this hold on me
You have an emotional power over me that I can’t shake off.

God knows I try
I have made an effort to move on from you but it doesn’t seem to work.

To let go
To release myself from the grip of my emotions for you

But all you do is pull me
Your presence and the memories attached to our past relationship continue to have a hold on me that I can’t resist.

Pulling me
You have a kind of gravitational force that pulls me back into the feelings that I have for you.

Up late again tonight
My thoughts are consumed by you to the point that I can’t focus on anything else.

Thinking about your skin on mine
I’m reminiscing about the intimacy we once shared and how much I miss it.

No matter how hard that I fight it
I’ve tried to fight off these feelings but they only seem to grow stronger with time.

Just wanna feel you
All I want is to have physical contact with you again.

Screaming and slamming doors all night
We’re constantly fighting and the tension between us is high.

Aren’t you tired of always fighting
I’m questioning if this is worth all of the arguing and negativity.

No I don’t want this anymore
I’ve come to the realization that this isn’t a healthy relationship and I want out.

But every time I try
Whenever I attempt to distance myself from you, something keeps drawing me back.

Let me let you go
I’m begging for the strength and courage to finally move on from you.

Pulling me close
You continue to bring me back into the emotional state that I have for you.
