Closer
Embracing Seasons of Love: Austin Taylor's Melodic Journey
Lyrics
The breeze on my skin
The sensation of the breeze on the singer's skin, setting the scene.
Watching our kid
Observing their child playing outside.
Run 'round outside and I'm seeing
Reflecting on the imagery of the child playing and the emotions it evokes.
Pictures of you
Recalling and visualizing pictures or memories of a significant other.
Flowers in bloom
Mention of flowers in bloom, possibly symbolizing growth and vitality.
In my mind
These memories exist in the singer's mind.
Ooh in this season
Expressing emotions in this particular season, possibly a metaphor for a phase in life.
I've got all this time on my hands
The singer has a surplus of time at their disposal.
So I'll, I'll give it all to you if I can 'cause
Willingness to dedicate time and effort to the significant other.
I still think that we can be closer
Belief that a closer relationship is still possible.
So tell me your dreams and let them bleed over
Encouraging the partner to share their dreams and emotions.
Mine
The singer wants to be close, sharing dreams together.
Having you next to me when we get older
Desire for closeness in old age.
It's the only thing in life
Claiming that being together is the most valuable aspect of life.
That'll make it worthwhile, yeah
Reiterating the significance of the relationship for a fulfilling life.
Well, It's not been lost on me
Acknowledging the blessings and positive aspects of life.
The blessings I've received
Gratitude for the positive experiences received.
I just get
Expressing occasional distraction due to pursuing personal dreams.
Caught up sometimes within
Getting entangled in the pursuit of personal goals sometimes.
The chasing of my dreams
The struggle to balance personal aspirations with relationship priorities.
And though I think of you
Constantly thinking of the significant other, finding mental peace.
Every moment my mind's at ease
Even in the pursuit of dreams, thoughts of the partner bring ease.
Well, I'll keep the water flowing
Commitment to maintaining a positive, nurturing environment ("keep the water flowing").
'till we reach a deeper green 'cause
Striving for a deeper connection ("deeper green") in the relationship.
I still think that we can be closer
Reiteration of the belief in the possibility of a closer connection.
So tell me your dreams and let them bleed over
Encouraging the partner to share their dreams, emphasizing the importance of mutual sharing.

Expressing the desire to be close, sharing dreams together.
Having you next to me when we get older
Repeating the aspiration for closeness in old age.

That'll make it worthwhile
Emphasizing the centrality of the relationship for a meaningful existence.
Oh now baby you're worthwhile
Affirming the partner's worthiness in the singer's eyes.
I still think that we can be closer
Restating the belief in the possibility of a closer connection.
So tell me your dreams and let them bleed over
Encouraging the partner to share dreams, emphasizing shared experiences.
(Let them bleed, baby, with me)
Repeating the invitation for mutual sharing and connection.
