Close to You
Yearning Echoes: Embracing Connection in Little Birdy's 'Close to You'
Lyrics
O take me home
Expressing a desire to return home.
Don't give up on me
Pleading not to be abandoned or given up on.
My selfish heart is alone tonight
Acknowledging a sense of loneliness and self-centeredness in the heart.
Wait they say you always get your way
Referencing the expectation that one tends to achieve their desires with patience.
True love ain't doing me no good
Reflecting on the idea that genuine love is not proving beneficial.
I wanna let somebody out
Expressing a desire to open up to someone emotionally.
And I need you now more than ever
Stating a current need for the presence of someone.
And I need you now for me
Emphasizing the personal significance of the needed presence.
I wanna be close to you when everybody's gone
Expressing a desire to be close to someone when others are absent.
I wanna be close to you when everybody's gone
Reiterating the desire to be close to someone in times of isolation.
Wait they say you always get your way
Repeating the idea that patience leads to getting what one wants.
True love ain't doing me no good
Reiterating the notion that genuine love is not proving beneficial.
I wanna let somebody out
Re-emphasizing the desire to express oneself emotionally.
And I need you now more than ever
Reiterating the current need for someone's presence, stressing urgency.
And I need you now for me
Re-emphasizing the personal importance of the needed presence.
I wanna be close to you when everybody's gone
Repeating the desire to be close to someone when others are absent.
