The song "Close to You" by otxhello expresses the desire to be close to someone despite feeling alone and troubled. The singer reveals that they turn to prayer when they are by themselves, and that they yearn to be near the person they are addressing. The repeated line "I just wanna be close to you" emphasizes the sense of longing the singer has for this person's presence. The lyrics also acknowledge that difficulties will come and go, but the desire to be close to this person remains constant. The use of "Forever" at the end of each verse underlines the depth and permanence of this feeling.
The instrumental break after the third "Forever" creates a moment of stillness before the song concludes with "Ver...". This perhaps leaves the listener wondering what the singer intends to say next, underscoring the open-ended nature of the song's message. The lyrics capture how the desire for connection and closeness can be powerful even in times of isolation and uncertainty.
