about

“So Close to You” is a seemingly bouncy, up-tempo R&B song that plumbs the depths of love all-consuming hungers despite the dangers involved in trying to love a toxic person who can never fill one’s personal holes, and how circumspect distance proves harder than it seems.

lyrics

So Close to You

Your eyes
Made me
Want to drown
In you

Your hands
Made me
Want to twine
Round you

Your lips
Made me
Want to
Enter you

I wanted to be
So close to you
Closer than anything I knew
Closer than our bodies
Could ever be

I wanted to dive under your
Skin, swim through the
Platelets of your blood
Wrap myself around and in
The marrow of your bones

Nestle in your muscles
Tangle in the
Branches your nerves
Lodge myself deep in the center
Of your hot and pulsing heart

But my desire masked fantasy
Conjured up to cloak the danger
That I refused to see

Flesh can’t fill the empty spaces
Especially when the figment of my
Dreams was one as
Volatile as you

Now, I’d rather keep a
Lucid distance as
Your madness seems far less alluring
And I continue facing down
The solitary demons, which are
Every lurking, lonely, but they’re mine
