Come Closer Lyrics

so i slave away.
on the floor and walls for a day.
buy you the beer can you pay.
get emotional each time they say your name.
oh soldier you look so strong.
who held you that you fought so long.
who told you that you left me amazed.
there's something left i gotta say.
how long can you stay?
i been waitin all day...
i been meltin away...
just to send off with you.
come closer. come closer.
so today. i wont call anyone for change.
"toes 'cross the floor," hear it play.
good at holdin back at eatin away your legs.
come closer.
oooh boo laa tooo. x3. come closer

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The line "'toes 'cross the floor,' hear it play" is a reference to the Blind Melon song, I believe.

...a most gorgous song, when i play "come closer", i hope or rather like to imagine there's a woman somewhere, who's man is a soldier serving his tour in either Iraq or Afghanistan, and when the fighting's over and he comes home...she conveys to him the sentiments of this song. i gather what makes me do that are the lines..."oh soldier you look so strong. who held you that you fought so long." Lastly it's very nice to see how others have taken to the song. bye 4 now.
