Closer
Chasing Love in California: Tommy Ashby's Musical Yearning
Lyrics
Counting the days in California,
Expressing the passage of time in California.
When all I want is you,
Desiring the presence of a specific person.
So far past the stage of falling for ya,
Moved beyond the initial stage of falling in love.
I know you feel it too,
Aware that the other person reciprocates the emotions.
Wanna get closer so I can hold ya,
Expressing the desire to be physically close for comfort.
You're pulling my guard down,
The person is breaking down emotional barriers.
You'd find the gold in a coal mine,
Recognizing value in challenging situations or individuals.
Watching the hours disappearing,
Observing time passing and wanting to be together.
Close the window, leave your shoes,
Suggesting intimacy by closing a window and removing shoes.
Breathe in the flowers, London's sleeping,
Enjoying quiet moments while the city sleeps.
The nighttime is ours, the morning too.
Claiming both nighttime and morning as special moments.
Wanna get closer so I can hold ya,
Reiterating the desire for physical closeness.
You're pulling my guard down,
Noting the emotional impact of breaking down defenses.
You'd find the gold in a coal mine,
Emphasizing finding value in unexpected places or people.
Oh like bottling lightening,
Comparing the intensity of emotions to bottling lightning.
Oh You're my hiding place,
Describing the person as a source of comfort and safety.
Wanna get closer so I can hold ya,
Expressing the persistent desire for physical closeness.
You're pulling my guard down,
Acknowledging the impact of breaking emotional barriers.
You'd find the gold in a coal mine,
Reiterating finding value in challenging circumstances.
Feeling that first flush,
Experiencing the initial excitement of a romantic relationship.
Is making my head rush,
Feeling a rush of emotions associated with the beginning of love.
Searching the tree line,
Searching for signs or symbols in nature related to the person.
You'd bring me flowers of the alpines.
Symbolizing the person's thoughtfulness through alpine flowers.
