Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a little strap to your shoulder
Close
Like you been since you slid over
Close
Like that sun is to goin' down
That's what I wanna be now
Baby, we can fly high, touching heaven tonight
Take it to a place we never been
Baby, we can chance it first kiss, landed
Diving off the edge baby, going all in
Let it go where it wants to go
Yeah, we might not fall in love
But we can sure come close
We can sure come close, yeah
Close
It ain't even close to midnight
Close
Don't even close your eyes
Close
Like your lips should be to mine
Ain't nothing quite like
Close, you know
Baby, we can fly high, touching heaven tonight
Take it to a place we never been
Baby, we can chance it first kiss, landed
Diving off the edge baby, going all in
Let it go where it wants to go
Yeah, we might not fall in love
But we can sure come close
We can sure come close, yeah
Let it go where it wants to go
We might not fall in love
But baby we can fly high
Take it to a place we never been
Baby, we can chance it first kiss, landed
Diving off the edge baby, going all in
Let it go where it wants to go
Yeah, we might not fall in love
But we can sure come close
We can sure come close, yeah
The lyrics of Ryan Kinder's song "Close" express the desire to be intimately close to someone, both physically and emotionally. The opening lines, "Like a little strap to your shoulder, Close, Like you been since you slid over" suggest that the singer wants to be as close to their partner as an article of clothing, almost inseparable from them. The comparison of their closeness to the sun going down adds a romantic and dreamy quality to the song.
The chorus emphasizes the idea that the couple can take risks and explore new depths of intimacy without necessarily falling in love. The lyrics are encouraging and suggest that being physically and emotionally close is worth pursuing, regardless of the outcome. The repetition of the phrase "we can sure come close" emphasizes the importance of taking a chance and experiencing the moment.
Overall, "Close" is a song about the desire to be close to someone on every level, and the willingness to take risks to achieve that intimacy. The lyrics suggest that even if the relationship doesn't lead to love, the experience of being close is worth it.
