Gustaf

Close

From Package, Pt. 22024

Written by Lydia Gammill, Melissa Lucciola

Lyrics

Close

[Verse 1]

Touching and teasing, I linger inside

I had to walk around you just to get in your sight

But you're leering at me sideways

Feeding, fueling the fight

It's left me wondering

Which you is here tonight?

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause I wanna know

(Are you close?)

If I have to go

You tell me, you tell me

[Chorus]

Are you close?

(Are you close?)

(Are you close?)

[Verse 2]

Moaning and weaving, I bundle my pride

I want to push up against you

Feel you, claim you in my life

I walk forwards and backwards

I try, try to walk upright

Well, something's off

I lose, lose when I try

But I want to know

[Pre-Chorus]

Are you?

Before I go

You tell me

Arе you?

[Chorus]

Are you close?

Are you closе?

When you close your eyes

Are you close?

And when I close my eyes

Are you close?

And when you close your eyes

Are you?

Are you?

[Verse 3]

I gave everything to live in your close

Anything to watch you smile

I gave everything to parade your pose

Fill you in your light

But now you're glaring at me backwards

Saying I was never right

Don't fish me out

Give me one more night

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause I wanna know

Tell me

(Are you close?)

I need to know

You tell me, tell me

You were close

(Are you close?)

Tell me, tell me you were close

(Are you close?)

Come on, tell me

You tell me

You were close (Are you close?)

'Cause when I closed (Are you close?)

'Cause when I close my eyes, there's you (Are you close?)

(Are you close?)

And when I close my eyes, there's you (Are you close?)

So if I close my eyes (Are you close?)

Will you? (Are you close?)

Are you?

[Chorus]

Are you close?

Are you close?

When I close my eyes

Are you close? (Are you close?)

(Are you close?)

And when we closed our eyes

Were you close? (Are you close?)

And if I close my eyes (Are you close?)

Are you? (Are you close?)

Are you still close?
