Close to Me
K-L Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I bet you've been on it since I met you but you don't know
I'd let you and don't too many get to get close to me…
When you holding me say what you want from me I'll give you more of me
Say what you want from me… give you more of me
Say what you want from me… give you more of me
Stay with me… lay with me I'm tired don't play no games with me
Anything you want I'll give it just tell me you different you won't lose my interest
If you goin lie make it good for me
I can't help but wonder what you want from me
If I I applied the pressure would you run from me
Is just your number one or only one for me
Questions… questions that I don't have the time to ask
Answers that Ima get as time will pass
Broken you wonder why I told you that… Yeah…
I bet you've been on it since I met you but you don't know
I'd let you and don't too many get to get close to me…
When you holding me say what you want from me I'll give you more of me
Say what you want from me… give you more of me
Say what you want from me… give you more of me
Impatient I'm waiting I need you to say something… say something
Lately I'm annoyed by the phone shit you ask why I ain't call I ain't want shit
To be honest I ain't thinkin you would notice if I just fade off on some ghost shit
But I ain't goin lie I'ma try for you in the night time I'ma open wide for you
I been thinking new things I could try for you
I bet you've been on it since I met you but you don't know
I'd let you and don't too many get to get close to me…
When you holding me say what you want from me I'll give you more of me




Say what you want from me… give you more of me
Say what you want from me… give you more of me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to K-L's song "Close to Me" reflect the artist's internal struggle with allowing someone to get close to her. She acknowledges that the person she's addressing has likely been interested in her since they met, but she's hesitant to fully let them in. K-L wants to know what this person wants from her so that she can give more of herself, but at the same time fears that if she applies too much pressure, they'll run away. She asks questions that she knows she might not have the time to get answers to, and wonders if this person is just another temporary connection or if there's something more there.


Throughout the song, K-L's emotions shift from cautiousness to vulnerability. She reveals that she's tired of playing games and wants someone to lay with her and stay with her. She even admits to being annoyed by the person's constant phone calls and texts, but ultimately decides to try for them and open up to them. The lyrics suggest that K-L is scared of being hurt, but also recognizes the importance of taking risks to find genuine connection.
