Too Close for Comfort
McFly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To make you cry
Can I say I'm sorry
It's hard to forget
And yes I regret
All these mistakes
But I know you must have your reasons
There's tears in your eyes
I watch as you cry
But it's getting late
Was I invading in on your secrets
Was I too close for comfort
You're pushing me out
When I'm wanting in
What was I just about to discover
When I got too close for comfort
Driving you home
Guess I'll never know
Remember when we scratched our names into the sand
And told me you loved me
But now that I find
That you've changed your mind
I'm lost the words
And everything I feel for you
I wrote down on one piece of paper
The one in your hand
You won't understand
How much it hurts to let you go
Was I invading in on your secrets
Was I too close for comfort
You're pushing me out
When I'm wanting in
What was I just about to discover
I got too close for comfort
Driving you home
Guess I'll never know
All this time you've been telling me lies
Hidden in bags that are under your eyes
And when I asked you I knew I was right
But if you turn your back on me now
When I need you most
But you just let me down, down, down
Would you think about what you're about to do to me
And back down
Was I invading in on your secrets
Was I too close for comfort
You're pushing me out
When I'm wanting in
What was I just about to discover
I got too close for comfort
You're pushing me out
When I'm wanting in
(Yeah yeah yeah)
What was I just about to discover
When I got too close for comfort
Driving you home
I guess I'll never know
The song "Too Close for Comfort" by McFly tells the story of a relationship that has ended badly. The singer regrets the things he said that made his partner cry and wishes he could take them back. He doesn't understand why his partner is leaving him but acknowledges that she must have her reasons. He realizes that he was too invested in their relationship and may have invaded her privacy, making her uncomfortable. He feels lost and hurt that he has to let her go and that all of their happy memories and future plans are now gone. The song is a poignant exploration of regret, loss, and the difficulties of letting go of someone you care about.

You have been lying to me all this time, and I could tell from the bags under your eyes. When I asked you, I knew I was right
But if you turn your back on me now
When I need you most
But you just let me down, down, down
If you leave me now when I need you the most, it will be a huge disappointment
Would you think about what you're about to do to me
And back down
Please consider how your actions will affect me and reconsider your decision
You're pushing me out
When I'm wanting in
(Yeah yeah yeah)
What was I just about to discover
When I got too close for comfort
You're pushing me away when I want to be close to you. What was I about to discover before we got too close for comfort?
You're pushing me out
When I'm wanting in
What was I just about to discover
I got too close for comfort
Driving you home
Guess I'll never know
You're still pushing me away when I want to be close to you. What was I almost discovering that made me get too close for comfort? I was driving you home, but I guess I'll never know the answer
