Close Enough
Unyielding Love: Embracing Imperfections and Promises in 'Close Enough'
Lyrics
These two hands ain't afraid to swing a hammer
Expressing readiness to work hard, using physical effort.
Ain't afraid to go to battle if you need them to.
Willingness to face challenges or conflicts if necessary.
These two hands, They have learned to tie a ribbon
Highlighting the ability to create beauty or bring joy.
They do all the heavy lifting. I’d lift the world for you
Metaphorically stating a strong commitment and willingness to do anything for someone.
I may never be everything you need
Acknowledging limitations but expressing a willingness to make an effort.
But that don't mean that I'm afraid to try
Emphasizing the courage to try despite imperfections.
I know I ain't perfect, and I
Self-awareness of not being perfect.
ain’t always deserving, but I
Acknowledging shortcomings but expressing commitment.
won’t never know a day that you’re not loved
Commitment to constant love and support.
I’m telling ya … I’ll always be close enough
Reassurance of always being emotionally present.
This old heart ain't afraid to bleed a river
Willingness to endure emotional pain for the sake of forgiveness.
Ain't afraid to keep forgiving
Commitment to continuous forgiveness despite challenges.
A dull beacon in the dark
Metaphor of being a guiding light even in difficult times.
This old heart is dedicated to the other
Declaration of emotional dedication to family.
Pieces of me and their mother
Recognition of the multifaceted aspects of the self.
Uncovered works of art
Referring to personal growth and uniqueness as a form of art.
This old man Is afraid to see you leaving
Expressing fear of a loved one departing.
To start the life that you believe in
Supporting a loved one's pursuit of their beliefs and dreams.
As an angel dressed in white
Imagery of a protective figure in white, possibly symbolizing purity.
This old man will be here when you need him
Promise of being available when needed, especially for family.
To spoil your kids and feed em
Commitment to providing care and sustenance for future generations.
I'm always on your side
Expressing unwavering support.
Don’t know a damn thing about giving up
Claiming persistence and determination in the face of challenges.
I may not ever get it right, but I'm in it til the day I die
Acknowledging potential mistakes but expressing lifelong commitment.
And every time you fall down, I'll pick you up
Commitment to offering support during difficult times.
I’m telling ya….I promise ya….I’ll always be close enough
Reiterating the promise of constant emotional closeness.
