Analysis of Close
Angel Jones 1981 (Memphis)
The smell of your skin
As we stand ever so close
Body to body.
The feel of you
Underneath my lips.
The pure essence
You releaseThe smell of your skin
As we stand ever so close
Body to body.
The feel of you
Underneath my lips.
The pure essence
You release
Just by being you.
Making me wish
For just one second
I was the air you exhale.
Need...
Want...
Desire...
All words that can't explain.
Hell, no words can explain.
Nothing can describe
How when you're not near
You make me understand "Opps, Oh My".
Lyrics become more clear
Distance become nonexistent
And you become me.
Mentally...
Physically...
Spiritually...
As I close my eyes
I feel you beneath my lips
Smell your skin
And sense your essence
Like you're just that close.
Just by being you.
Making me wish
For just one second
I was the air you exhale.
Need...
Want...
Desire...
All words that can't explain.
Hell, no words can explain.
Nothing can describe
How when you're not near
You make me understand "Oops, Oh My".
Lyrics become more clear
Distance become nonexistent
And you become me.
Mentally...
Physically...
Spiritually...
As I close my eyes
I feel you beneath my lips
Smell your skin
And sense your essence
Like you're just that close.
