Closer to You
Journey to Love: Exploring the Unspoken Desires in 'Closer to You'
Lyrics
In lieu of an answer
Instead of providing a direct response,
I ask you this question
The speaker poses a question to the listener,
It's not necessary
Stating that an answer isn't obligatory,
Just suggested
But it's recommended or implied,
Do you want me
Asking if the listener desires the speaker,
Do you love me
Inquiring about the listener's love for the speaker,
Will you kiss me
Questioning if the listener will kiss the speaker,
Will you hold me
Asking if the listener will embrace or hold the speaker.
The further I get down this road
As the speaker continues on their journey,
The closer I get to you
They feel they are getting closer to the listener,
It's tomorrow now and I'm on my way
Reflecting on the passing of time,
The sun of man is comin up with the day
The morning arrives, symbolizing a new day,
My babies know daddy's drivin
Noting that the speaker's children are aware that their father is driving,
As fast as he can
Trying to reach the destination as quickly as possible.
The further I get down this road
Continuing the journey,
The closer I get to you
Feeling a sense of proximity to the listener,
So let the song just sing itself
Suggesting that the music should unfold naturally,
Don't try to hard too find it
Advising against excessive effort to seek something,
Catching all the stones
Mentioning the difficulty in catching negative comments or actions,
You'll find it hard to realize that
Expressing the challenge in realizing a certain truth or understanding.
The further I get down this road
Continuing the journey metaphor,
The closer I get to you
Feeling even closer to the listener,
So let the song just sing itself
Reiterating that the music should progress naturally,
Don't try too hard to find it
Warning against excessive effort in seeking something,
You're catching all the stones
Noting the difficulty in dealing with criticism or negativity,
You'll find it hard to realize that
Highlighting the challenge in recognizing a particular truth or realization.
The further I get down this road
Continuing the journey metaphor once more,
The closer I get to you
Feeling even closer to the listener,
Closer I get to you
Reaffirming the increasing proximity to the listener.
