Creepin' In
Norah Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Goes right through the sole
Of this old shoe
And the water on the ground ain't got no place, it's fine
So, it's only got one thing left to do
Just creep on in
Creep on in
Sneakin' in
There's a silver moon
Came a little too soon
Oh, for me to bear
It shines brightly on my bed and the shadow's overhead
Won't let me sleep as long as it's there
Just creep on in
Creep on in
And once it has begun, it won't stop until it's done
Sneakin' in
Creep on in
Creep on in
And once it has begun, it won't stop until it's done
Sneakin' in
There's a big old hole
Goes right through my soul
Oh, that ain't nothin' new
So, as long as you're around
I got no place else you've found
There's only one thing left for you to do
I just creep on in
Creep on in
And once you have begun, don't stop until you're done
Sneakin' in
And once it has begun, it won't stop until it's done
Sneakin' in
And once it has begun, it won't stop until it's done
Sneakin' in
Sneakin' in
Sneakin' in
Sneakin' in
Creepin' in
Sneakin' in
Sneakin' in
Sneakin' in
Sneakin' in
Sneakin' in
Creepin' in
You want to keep creepin' on in
Creep
Creepin' in
In "Creepin' In," Norah Jones sings about being unable to resist the allure of a person who she's attracted to. She uses the metaphor of a hole in her shoe to represent the vulnerability that she feels, saying that the water on the ground has nowhere to go but inside her shoe. She then compares this vulnerability to feelings of desire, saying that once the creeping has begun, it won't stop until it's done.
The silver moon that appears too soon and keeps Jones awake at night is a metaphorical representation of the ever-present temptation of the person she desires. No matter what she does, she cannot get rid of the temptation, but instead has to accept it and allow it to creep in.
The chorus of the song – “Creep on in” – further emphasizes her inability to resist the temptation. The repetition of the chorus, combined with the upbeat tempo and catchy melody of the song, create a feeling of inevitability that mirrors the unstoppable creeping of desire.
Overall, the lyrics of "Creepin' In" are a poetic and relatable exploration of the complexities of human desire and vulnerability.
Line by Line Meaning
There's a big old hole
Something is missing or broken
Goes right through the sole
Directly affects me
Of this old shoe
Of something that may not be valuable
And the water on the ground ain't got no place, it's fine
The situation is not ideal, but it's bearable
So, it's only got one thing left to do
It has no other choice but to accept the situation
Just creep on in
Slowly enter my life
Creep on in
Continue to enter my life slowly
And once it has begun, it won't stop until it's done
It will persist until the end
Sneakin' in
Secretly entering my life
There's a silver moon
A beautiful thing that comes at a wrong time
Came a little too soon
Came earlier than expected or desired
Oh, for me to bear
Something too difficult to handle
It shines brightly on my bed and the shadow's overhead
It's visible and affects my environment
Won't let me sleep as long as it's there
It's preventing me from relaxing and resting
And once it has begun, it won't stop until it's done
It will persist until the end
There's a big old hole
Something is missing or broken
Goes right through my soul
Directly affects my emotional state
Oh, that ain't nothin' new
A common occurrence
So, as long as you're around
As long as you're here
I got no place else you've found
I have nowhere else to go
There's only one thing left for you to do
Only one option remains
And once you have begun, don't stop until you're done
Commit to what you're doing
Sneakin' in
Secretly entering my life
Creepin' in
Slowly entering my life
Creep on in
Continue to enter my life slowly
You want to keep creepin' on in
You want to keep slowly entering my life
Creep
Slowly advance towards something

on The Nearness of You
The Nearness Of You - Camille Thurman -Lyrics
Its not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
Its just the nearness of you
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
Its just the nearness of you
When you're in my arms
And I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams do come true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me
The right to hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness of you
Saxophone Musical Interlude
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me
The right to hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness, the nearness of you
