Close to Me
Yearning Whispers of Love: Megan Shumway's Close to Me Revels in Passion
Lyrics
When I see your face I grin
Seeing your face brings me joy
Oh, if it were sin
Expresses a willingness to take risks for love
To love you, I'd be damned
Expresses readiness to face consequences for loving
Your laugh and smile are contagious
Your laughter and smile are infectious
You're oh so bright and vivacious
You are vibrant and full of life
It's too bad we've both been scarred by love before
Both individuals have been hurt in past relationships
Oh, darling, can't you see
Expresses a strong desire for the person
I want you so desperately
Expresses intense longing for the person
I just want you to be
Desire for the person to simply exist near
Close to me
Yearning for closeness and intimacy
Close to me
Repeated emphasis on desiring closeness
I can't imagine you'd feel the same
Doubtful of the other's feelings due to past experiences
For your love has been a game
Belief that the other person's love is insincere or a game
Played by ruthless players
Perception of previous partners as deceitful
Besides, I am a joke and
Feels inadequate or unworthy
I'm too battered, bruised, and broken
Feels emotionally and physically damaged from past experiences
To give you what you need
Believes they cannot meet the other person's needs
But oh,
Expresses a longing despite perceived obstacles
Oh, darling, cant you see
Reiterates strong desire for the person
I want you so desperately
Intense longing for the person reiterated
I just want you to be
Desire for closeness reiterated
Close to me
Repeated emphasis on desiring closeness
Close to me
Emphasizes longing for closeness
So won't you come on closer to me
Requesting the person to come closer emotionally
I wish you'd come on closer to me
Expressing a wish for the person to be emotionally closer
