Lyrics
I want to be your lover
I desire to be in a romantic relationship with you.
But your friend is all I've stayed
However, our current connection is limited to being friends.
I'm only halfway to paradise
I feel that I am only halfway towards achieving a state of bliss or happiness.
So near, yet so far away
Although close in proximity, there is still a significant distance emotionally.
I long for your lips to kiss my lips
I yearn for your lips to touch mine.
But just when I think they may
But just when I sense the possibility, something interferes.
You lead me halfway to paradise
You guide me partway to a state of happiness or fulfillment.
So near, yet so far away, mmm
Despite the closeness, there remains a significant emotional gap.
Bein' close to you is almost heaven (heaven)
Being near you feels almost like paradise.
But seein' you can do just so much
However, merely seeing you has its limitations.
It hurts me so to know your heart's a treasure (treasure)
It pains me to know that your heart is a valuable treasure.
And that my heart is forbidden to touch, so
My heart is not allowed to touch or access this treasure.
Put your sweet lips close to my lips
Place your lips close to mine, suggesting an intimate connection.
And tell me that's where they're gonna stay
Express that this closeness should be a lasting commitment.
Don't lead me halfway to paradise
Don't take me only halfway to a state of bliss or happiness.
Mmm, so near, yet so far away
Despite the nearness, there is still a considerable emotional distance.
Oh, uh, oh so near, yet so far away
Emphasizing the closeness yet the emotional separation.
Yeah, yeah so near, yet so far away
Reiterating the proximity but highlighting the emotional gap.
