Closer Tonight
Embrace the Night: Billy Currington's Invitation to Intimacy
Lyrics
I don't know what you're doin', but baby I just had to find out
I am curious about your actions, and I want to understand them.
Maybe it's too soon to call you, but it's too late now
It might be premature to contact you, but the opportunity has passed for hesitation.
I've been thinkin' about the way you move
I have been contemplating the way you move.
And the way you look when I look at you
Observing how you appear when I gaze at you.
And I just can't wait, tomorrow's too late
I am eager and can't wait; waiting until tomorrow is too late.
Baby just come over, we should be a little closer tonight
Suggesting the desire for physical closeness tonight.
Let's drink a little something and do a lot of nothin' all night
Proposing to enjoy a drink and engage in leisurely activities all night.
We can take it slow or we can go wherever you're feelin' like
Flexible options for the evening, either a slow pace or going wherever you desire.
It really doesn't matter as long as we get closer tonight
Emphasizing that the location or activity doesn't matter as long as they get closer tonight.
You can be here in a song, I'll meet you at the end of the street
Imagining the person being present in a song or meeting at a specific location.
All we gotta lose is a lonely city night and some sleep
The only potential loss is a night in the city and some sleep.
And if you gotta go, I'll walk you home
If the person has to leave, the singer is willing to accompany them home.
Or if you don't wanna wake up alone
Expressing a willingness to prevent the person from waking up alone.
Come on, come on, don't wait too long
Encouraging the person not to wait too long and to act on their feelings.
Baby just come over, we should be a little closer tonight
Reiteration of the desire for physical closeness.
Let's drink a little something and do a lot of nothin' all night
Repeating the suggestion to enjoy drinks and leisurely activities throughout the night.
We can take it slow or we can go wherever you're feelin' like
Reiterating the flexibility of the evening's pace and location.
It really doesn't matter as long as we get closer tonight
Reiterating that the specifics don't matter as long as they get closer tonight.
Closer tonight
Emphasizing the theme of physical closeness for tonight.
Don't think about it too much
Advising not to overthink, but instead, to take action.
Just get in the car
Encouraging the person to get in the car without hesitation.
You're too far away
Expressing the distance as an obstacle that needs to be overcome.
If you're anywhere but in my arms, uh, huh
Highlighting the importance of being in the singer's arms.
Baby just come over, we should be a little closer tonight
Reiteration of the desire for physical closeness.
Let's drink a little something and do a lot of nothin' all night
Repeating the suggestion to enjoy drinks and leisurely activities throughout the night.
We can take it slow or we can go wherever you're feelin' like
Reiterating the flexibility of the evening's pace and location.
It really doesn't matter as long as we get closer tonight
Reiterating that the specifics don't matter as long as they get closer tonight.
Closer tonight, oh, ohh
Closing emphasis on the theme of physical closeness for tonight.
