Close To You
Jimmy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’m in love with your casual layback
Feel the vibe ’cause you know we go way back
Take a chance with me, yeah, ’cause it’s like that (Oh oh, oh oh)
Driving round through the town for some closure
Pick you up in a few coming over
Bring some friends, we can use some exposure (Oh oh, oh oh)

I want you to know just where my mind is leaning
’Cause you need to know, baby, where tonight is leading
You can take control; come on, tell me what you’re thinking
Won’t you tell me what you’re thinking right now?

I wanna get close (Close)
To you
Just wanna get close (Close)
To you
You know I feel it all the time
Just as long as I’m
Close to you (Ah ah ah)
Close to you (Ah ah ah)

Just wanna get closer to you, to you
Just wanna get closer to you, to you

I wanna see the skyline, baby, you and I
We can do crazy things like all the time
And I don’t care if we stay awake ’til morning
You and me together, nothing’s ever boring

I want you to know just where my mind is leaning
’Cause you need to know, baby, where tonight is leading
You can take control; come on, tell me what you’re thinking
Won’t you tell me what you’re thinking right now?

I wanna get close (Close)
To you
Just wanna get close (Close)
To you
You know I feel it all the time
Just as long as I’m
Close to you (Ah ah ah)
Close to you (Ah ah ah)

Just wanna get closer to you, to you
Just wanna get closer to you, to you

She’s the one making me come undone
She’s the one; it’s time to have a little fun
So if you’re ready

I wanna get close (Close)
To you
Just wanna get close (Close)
To you
You know I feel it all the time
Just as long as I’m
Close to you (Ah ah ah)
Close to you (Ah ah ah)





Just wanna get closer to you to you
Just wanna get closer to you to you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jimmy Bo Horne's song Close to You are a tribute to a special someone who has captured the attention and affection of the singer. The song starts with the singer asking a rhetorical question about why birds suddenly appear every time the person he is singing to is near. The metaphorical comparison to the birds implies that the singer's feelings toward this person are akin to the natural instinct of birds to flock together.


The song continues with the same question regarding stars falling down from the sky every time the person walks by. This imagery suggests that the person is highly attractive and has an effect on the entire universe. The singer then explains the reason behind this magical allure — on the day the person was born, the angels got together and decided to create a dream come true. They sprinkled moon dust in the person's hair of gold and starlight in their blue eyes, which is why all the girls in town follow them around.


The refrain repeats this idea, stating that just like the singer, all the girls in town long to be close to the person because they are so special. The overall theme of the song is unrequited love or admiration from afar, as the singer is clearly smitten with this person but it's unclear if that person feels the same way.

Música é uma forma de expressão, e expressar algo é divino, e individual, cada pessoa expressa da sua forma!! Nessa música consigo visualizar cada momento que vivi ao seu lado, que serão eternos em minha mente e coração .... E ninguém pode me roubar isso .... E.P...

Bela canção, e na voz dele, ficou maravilhosa!!! Achei que só com Karen Carpenters fosse perfeita, mas ficou muito linda em estilo soul.
