Lyrical Analysis of...
CLOSE TO ME (REMIX) Late-Night Rap
- (prod. sonni)
- [Intro –0:00–0:15]
- (Yeah, yeah)
- It's 2 AM, you still on my mind,
- Your name lights up, I forget the time.
- We both got scars we don't wanna show,
- But when you're with me, I don't feel alone.
- [Chorus –0:15–0:39]
- Stay close to me, don't fade away,
- I need your love when the skies turn gray.
- You know my flaws, still you choose to stay,
- We fight all night, then we kiss the pain.
- Don't let pride get between our hearts,
- We came too far just to fall apart.
- If the whole world leaves, you're all I need,
- Baby, stay right here, close to me.
- [Verse 1 –0:39–1:17]
- I've been driving through the city with your voice in my head,
- Thinking 'bout the little things we should've never said.
- Got a thousand unread texts, but I'm reading yours twice,
- You the only one who knows what I'm feeling inside.
- I know I get distant when the pressure gets heavy,
- You say you want forever, girl, I'm hoping you're ready.
- I don't wanna make promises I can't keep,
- But I'd rather lose sleep than lose you to the streets.
- You know the real me, not the one they see,
- No expensive gifts could buy your loyalty.
- Got my heart on the line, ain't no guarantee,
- But I ain't looking for another, you're enough for me.
- [Pre Chorus –1:17–1:29]
- And if the lights go out tonight,
- Would you still be by my side?
- We don't gotta get it perfect,
- Just tell me that we're worth it.
- [Chorus –1:29–1:53]
- Stay close to me, don't fade away,
- I need your love when the skies turn gray.
- You know my flaws, still you choose to stay,
- We fight all night, then we kiss the pain.
- Don't let pride get between our hearts,
- We came too far just to fall apart.
- If the whole world leaves, you're all I need,
- Baby, stay right here, close to me.
- [Verse 2 –1:53–2:25]
- You don't want diamonds, you want honesty,
- You want the man I said that I would always be.
- I know the late nights put a strain on trust,
- But I ain't entertaining anybody but us.
- I could book a flight, take you somewhere warm,
- But that won't fix the nights I left you in the storm.
- So I'm showing up different, putting actions first,
- Learning how to love you when we're both at our worst.
- No more leaving when the conversations get deep,
- No more saying that I'm fine when it's killing me.
- You ain't gotta chase a love that's supposed to be free,
- Girl, I'm right here, you can count on me.
- [Final Chorus –2:25–2:40]
- Stay close to me, don't fade away,
- Even when the sunshine turns to rain.
- I don't need perfect, I just need real,
- You're the only one who knows how I feel.
- If the world goes cold, you're all I need,
- Baby, stay right here, close to me.
- [Outro –2:40–2:45]
- (Yeah, yeah)
- No more running, no more leaving,
- Just you and me.
