Growing Closer
Journey of Longing: Humble Pie's 'Growing Closer' Unveiled
Lyrics
Here I am with dust in my pants
Feeling disheveled or worn out, possibly from a journey or travel.
I don't know what to do
Uncertainty or confusion about what steps to take next.
I've been on the road for almost a week
Having traveled for an extended period, possibly feeling fatigued.
I just wanna be with you, yeah, you, yeah
Expressing a desire to be in the company of a specific person.
Makes no difference where I am
Suggests that the physical location doesn’t affect the emotional state.
It's feeling hard to breathe
Feeling suffocated or restricted in some way, possibly emotionally.
If I thought you felt the same
Wishing for mutual feelings from the person being referred to.
Wouldn't be so bad for me, me, yeah
Implies that if the person felt the same, the situation wouldn’t be as difficult.
Thought I knew all about it from the start
Feeling knowledgeable at the beginning but realizing it was misguided.
Took a short cut to nowhere
Took a shortcut or made a decision that led to no progress.
To make it feel alright
Trying to make things seem fine or acceptable despite difficulties.
Got to cut this traveling out
Expressing a desire to stop traveling or moving around.
I hate sayin' goodbye
Disliking the act of saying goodbye, possibly indicating a longing for stability or permanence.
We leave the day we arrive
Suggests leaving as soon as one arrives, possibly referencing a lack of settling down.
Or I'll wanna know why
Expressing a desire for understanding or reasoning behind actions.
Growin' closer, comin' in out of the dark
Describing the process of growing emotionally closer, emerging from a challenging or unclear situation.
Here I am with dust in my pants
Repetition of feeling disheveled or worn out, possibly emphasizing this feeling.
I don't know what to do
Reiteration of uncertainty or confusion about the next course of action.
I've been on the road for almost a week
Repeating the duration of travel, reinforcing a sense of fatigue or weariness.
I just wanna be with you
Reiterating the desire to be with a specific person.
Yeah, you
Emphasizing the specific person the singer wants to be with.
Yeah, you, yeah
Reinforcing the desire to be with the mentioned person.
