Closer
Ne-Yo Lyrics

Turn the lights off in this place
The singer wants the lights turned off so that he can focus his attention solely on the girl he's infatuated with.

And she shines just like a star
To the singer, the girl he's interested in is stunning - she radiates with an almost magical quality.

And I swear I know her face
The singer feels like he recognizes the girl, but they might have just never met before.

I just don't know who you are
Despite feeling a connection with the girl, he still doesn't know who she really is.

Turn the music up in here
The singer wants the music turned up so that he can't think and only focus on the girl in front of him.

I still hear her loud and clear
Even with the music blasting, the singer can still hear the girl's voice ringing in his ears.

Like she's right there in my ear
The singer feels like the girl is whispering sweet nothings directly into his ear, even if she's not actually saying anything.

Telling me that she wants to own me
The girl is making it clear that she wants the singer for herself and that she's willing to pursue him at all costs.

To control me
The girl wants to take complete control over the singer's life, potentially in a negative or obsessive way.

Come closer
The girl is beckoning the singer to get closer to her, to give in to their feelings and desires.

Oh I just can't pull myself away
The singer is completely wrapped up in his feelings for this girl and can't imagine leaving her side.

Under her spell I can't break
The girl has an almost hypnotic effect on the singer, and he can't seem to snap out of the enchantment.

I just can't stop
The singer is powerless to stop his feelings and desires for the girl, no matter how irrational or unhealthy they might be.

I can feel her on my skin
The singer is physically and emotionally affected by the girl's presence and touch.

I can taste her on my tongue
The singer is so wrapped up in his feelings for the girl that he feels like he can literally taste their chemistry and connection.

She's the sweetest taste of sin
The singer acknowledges that his feelings for the girl might not necessarily be good for him, but he can't help but lust after her anyway.

The more I get the more I want
The singer's desire for the girl only intensifies the more time he spends with her or thinks about her.

She says "come closer"
The girl is continuing to initiate intimacy with the singer, urging him to give in to their desires.

I just can't stop no
Despite his potential reservations or better judgment, the singer's feelings are too strong for him to resist giving in to.

And I just can't break myself no way
The singer feels like he's too wrapped up in his feelings for the girl to ever turn away from them or break the spell she has over him.

But I don't want to escape
Despite the potential negative consequences of their relationship, the singer doesn't actually want to escape from his feelings or connection with the girl.
