Come Closer
Miles Kane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have to do
To get you where, I want you
I'll guess we'll see
What might be
Whoa
A million miles away
So Come Closer
So Come Closer
So Come Closer
Whoa
Whoa
You're reasons
Don't make any sense,
I'll never rely on you
And you're draped on him,
while you're staring at me
Whoa
Whoa
You're a million miles,
A million miles away
So Come Closer
So Come Closer
So Come Closer
Whoa
Ah
Whoa
Whoa
You're a million miles,
A million miles away
So Come Closer
So Come Closer
Whoa
Ah
Miles Kane's song "Come Closer" seems to be about a person who is trying to get someone they desire to come closer to them. The opening line asks what the person needs to do to get the other person to where they want them, revealing their frustration with the distance between them. The lyrics "I'll guess we'll see what might be" indicates the singer is willing to take a risk and see what happens, possibly hoping that the person they desire may feel or behave differently and come closer.
The singer observes the person they desire is currently in a relationship with somebody else, as indicated by the line "And you're draped on him, while you're staring at me". The conflicting behavior of the person the singer desires frustrates them and they state that the person's reasons for not coming closer don't make sense. They express that they will never rely on the person in question, implying they don't feel that person is trustworthy or honest.
Overall, the song speaks of desire and frustration with distance and conflicting behavior. The singer craves closeness with someone they desire, but circumstances and the behavior of the person they desire make it difficult for the relationship to develop.
