Close
To Me
I've waited
hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed asleep today
I never thought this day would end
I never thought tonight could ever be
This close to me
Just try
to see in the dark
Just try to make it work
To feel the fear before you're here
I make the shapes come much too close
I pull my eyes out
Hold my breath
And wait until I shake...
But if I
had your faith
Then I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure
That my head on the door was a dream
I've waited
hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed asleep today
I never thought this day would end
I never thought tonight could ever be
This close to me
But if I
had your face
I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure
That my head on the door
Was a dream

Robert
on 'Close To Me'...
"…
about being claustrophobic. Not physically, but about how you can
feel confined even in the most expansive room if you're with the wrong
people." (I Am Filled With an Overwhelming Desire to Die, Smash
Hit's October 22, 1985)
"Frustrated, humming with your head under the pillow, like the
end of a day where you feel nothing has been achieved and you're in
a hurry to get things over with so you can start the next one. You
tell yourself tomorrow you're going to do lots of positive things.
But the next day is just like the one before. Sometimes it goes on
for weeks."
(Ten Imaginary Years - 1988)
"The disappointment of dreams made real".
(Cure
News 11 - October 1991)
"Close To Me" is a song about claustrophobic pursuits of
the night... I can say no more... (September
1997) |
