Close to Me
Kiana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know that you got a baby when you back at home
I know that she missin' you that's why she calls your phone
You be thinking of her when you're laying real close to me

She be from your past but you can't leave her alone
She be on your mind I can hear it in your tone
Thinking I don't know when you're laying real close to me
When you're laying real close to me
When you're laying real close to me
When you're laying real close to me
Laying real close to me

I feel there's something going on baby
Feel something going wrong baby
No room for us to grow when you're making room for somebody

Know nothing bout her but I know I see her in your phone
Losing myself tryna put together what I know
You be thinking of her when you're getting real close to me

If you love her baby then why don't you let me go?
I can't pull away got enough love for us both
I know who's on your mind when you're laying real close to me

When you're laying real close to me
When you're laying real close to me
When you're laying real close to me
Laying real close to me

I know that's why you turn around when you get a text
I know that's why your mood drops you get upset
I know you're not capable of being a man
You take us back when you revisit the past

I know you be lost in your thoughts
Tryna understand what you want

But how can I help you if you ain't helping me?

I know that you got a baby when you back at home




I know that she missin you that's why she calls your phone
You be thinking of her when you're laying real close to me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kiana Ledé's song "Close to Me" depict a complicated love triangle where the singer is involved with someone who has a baby with another woman. The singer knows the reality of the situation, where this man thinks of his baby's mother while being intimate with her. She sees the signs, such as the calls on his phone from the woman and his mood drops after reading texts. The man is not entirely committed to the singer, and she can feel it in her gut. She is trying to understand what he wants, but he's too lost in his thoughts, trying to figure out his feelings for the two women. The singer, although in love, is caught between the man she loves, someone who isn't capable of being a complete partner, and his other significant other, whom she has never met.


The chorus repeats the phrase "when you're laying real close to me." This line emphasizes the physical intimacy between the singer and the man she is involved with. However, despite the emotional and physical connection between them, she feels like something is off. The singer knows she's a placeholder for someone else, someone who the man is not ready to let go of. The chorus also represents how the singer can feel his energy shifting and changing. The repetition of this line reaffirms her knowledge of their situation.


In conclusion, "Close to Me" by Kiana Ledé is a song that describes a situation of unrequited love. The lyrics illustrate the complexity of romantic relationships and how they can be influenced by external factors such as children, past relationships, and personal feelings. The song vocals coupled with the relatable lyrics and fantastic rhythm make it a hit. Kiana's vulnerable and captivating voice brings a sense of raw emotion to the song lending an air of authenticity.
