Far from You
Close to the Heart: Exploring Intimacy in Micky & the Motorcars' 'Far from You'
Lyrics
I don’t know how far you’ll go with me tonight
Expressing uncertainty about the extent of the connection tonight.
And I’m not sure what you wanna do
Uncertain about the partner's intentions.
Anything you please would be quite alright
Open to anything the partner desires.
I just know that I don’t want to get too far from you
Emphasizing a desire to stay close to the partner.
Far from you
Reiterating the desire not to be far from the partner.
Far from you
-All I know is I don’t want to get too far from you.
-I’ve been thinking about us girl for quite some time
Reflecting on the relationship for a significant duration.
And I know you’ve been thinking about us too
Acknowledging the partner's contemplation about the relationship.
You don’t have to say what’s on your mind right now
Granting the partner space to express thoughts.
All I know is I don’t want to get too far from you
Reiterating the commitment not to drift too far from the partner.
Far from you
Reaffirming the determination to stay close to the partner.
Far from you
-All I know is I don’t want to get too far from you.
-I wouldn't be surprised if Wendy closed your eyes.
Suggesting a possibility of the partner closing their eyes, metaphorically or literally.
That you pretend it’s what you wanna do
Speculating that the partner may pretend to want something.
So I'll let you lie right here by my side
Accepting the partner's choice to lie by their side.
Cause all I know is I don’t want to get too far from you
Reiterating the commitment not to be far from the partner.
We’re gonna let our hearts both get scattered
Acknowledging challenges in the relationship, anticipating resolution.
But foolishly what’s rough gets washed away
Recognizing that difficulties will be overcome and washed away.
Let this go like it never mattered
Letting go of the past as if it never mattered.
Sacrify the pride and say what you wanna say
Encouraging honesty and expressing readiness to hear the partner's thoughts.
I don’t know how far you’ll go with me tonight
Repeating the initial uncertainty about the depth of the connection tonight.
And I’m not sure what you wanna do
