Close To Me
Swae Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We just know that we'll be all right
Even though we're kicked out the party 'cause we both hate everybody
We're the ones they wanna be like
So don't let me down
Keep me in trouble
Born to be wild
And I don't wanna be somebody without your body close to me
And if it wasn't you, I wouldn't want anybody close to me (yeah, yeah)
'Cause I'm an animal, animal-al, like animal, like you
And I don't wanna be somebody without your body close to me (whoo)
You can never come too close for comfort
I had to cut my bitch off, she bein' stubborn (stubborn)
I make it known I fuck with you, not undercover ('cover)
And when I jump in, I'm burnin' rubber (yeah, skrrt)
Iced out body, didn't go to college (yeah, yeah)
Price tag poppin', then you on a private (then you on a)
Don't say "sorry," everyone's watchin' (everyone)
When you're where I am, everything's timeless (yeah, yeah)
And I don't wanna be somebody without your body close to me
And if it wasn't you, I wouldn't want anybody close to me (yeah, yeah)
'Cause I'm an animal, animal-al, like animal, like you
And I don't wanna be somebody without your body close to me
Close to me
Close to me
(Animal, animal-al, like animal, like you)
And I don't wanna be somebody without your body close to me
And if it wasn't you, I wouldn't want anybody close to me (yeah, yeah)
Because I'm an animal, animal-al, like animal, like you
And I don't wanna be somebody without your body close to me
Close to me
(To me) close to me
In Swae Lee's song "Close," the singer explores the complicated nature of a relationship that is volatile yet irresistible. The opening lines of the song describe the two parties as liars who spark each other's fires, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for the passionate but tumultuous nature of their connection. Despite their disagreements with seemingly everyone else at the party, the couple knows that they are the ones everyone else wants to be.
The chorus of the song highlights the singer's animalistic nature and his desire not to be without his partner's physical presence. The lines, "And I don't wanna be somebody without your body close to me/And if it wasn't you, I wouldn't want anybody close to me" indicate that the singer feels incomplete without his partner and would not be interested in any other relationships.
The second verse of the song further reinforces the passionate but complicated nature of the relationship. The line, "You can never come too close for comfort" suggests an almost obsessive need to be close to the other person. However, the singer also acknowledges having to cut off another partner who was being stubborn, highlighting the difficulties that can arise in a relationship with intense feelings.
Overall, "Close" is a song about the complexity of love and relationships. It highlights how even when a relationship can be difficult, there is an overwhelming need to be close to the other person physically and emotionally.
