Closer To You
Stoney LaRue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In lieu of an answer
I ask you this question
It's not necessary
Just suggested
Do you want me
Do you love me
Will you kiss me
Will you hold me

The further I get down this road
The closer I get to you

It's tomorrow now and I'm on my way
The sun of man is comin up with the day
My babies know daddy's drivin
As fast as he can

The further I get down this road
The closer I get to you

So let the song just sing itself
Don't try to hard too find it
Catching all the stones
You'll find it hard to realize that

The further I get down this road
The closer I get to you

So let the song just sing itself
Don't try too hard to find it
You're catching all the stones
You'll find it hard to realize that

The further I get down this road




The closer I get to you
Closer I get to you

As the song progresses, the singer reflects on their journey towards their lover. They are on a road, physically and emotionally, and the further they travel, the closer they feel to their partner. It's a metaphor that encapsulates the idea of the challenges that we face in relationships, and how these challenges can make us stronger and more connected if we confront them together. The singer mentions their children, showing their determination to be with their lover, even if they must drive as fast as they can.
