Get Here
Q feat tracy ackerman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can reach me on an airplane, you can reach me with your mind
You can reach me by caravan, cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here, just - get here if you can
You can reach me by sail boat, climb a tree and swing rope to rope
Take a sled and slide down the slope, into these arms of mine
You can jump on a speedy colt, cross the border in a blaze of hope
There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
If I had my way, surely you would be closer
I need you closer
(interlude, then repeat bridge)
You can windsurf into my life, take me up on a carpet ride
You can make it in a big balloon, but you better make it soon
You can reach me by caravan, cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here, just - get here if you can
I don't care how you get here, just -- get here if - you can.
The song "Get Here" is about the longing to be with someone and the willingness to do whatever it takes to make that happen. The lyrics suggest that physical distance does not matter, as long as the person can get to the singer somehow. The first verse lists several different modes of transportation that could be used to reach the singer, including a train, a plane, and a caravan. However, the second verse suggests that it may not just be physical distance that separates the singer from the person they are addressing, as there are also "hills and mountains" to overcome. The emotional distance may be just as difficult to traverse as the physical distance, and the singer asks for the person to come closer if possible.
The chorus repeats the sentiment that it doesn't matter how the person gets there, as long as they do. The bridge further emphasizes the idea that the singer needs the person to be physically closer, and suggests that they are willing to wait for them. The final verse suggests even more imaginative ways of getting to the singer, including windsurfing and riding in a hot air balloon. The urgency of the situation is also emphasized with the line "but you better make it soon", further highlighting the singer's desire to be with their loved one.
