Closer Lyrics
Will you love me darling
when I get there
I'll need sunshine
I'll need rest
pour us whiskey, water-kissed
She said smiling
Write my name
Somewhere safe
Touch and taste
Fades with space
I'll never be
who you dream
But those things you do
I don't wanna hear
You'll have yours
I'll have mine
No one guilty
No one right
She said smiling
Write my name
Somewhere safe
Touch and taste
Fades with space
I'll never be
who you dream
Gonna drive fast
all night 'til I get there
Not much time we can waste
Nothing pretty left to say
Best song off the new EP in my opinion. The guitars near the middle to end of song, where it takes off, sends shivers down my spine. I believe the meaning is quite simple. The guy is making an effort to be the man the girl wants him to be, regardless if he is or isnt good enough, and he is conveying the known feeling that they are getting closer.
I totally agree with Way2Slo, the guy is trying to be the best man he can be for his girl.
"Everyday I get a little closer dear Will you love me darling when I get there"
Also, I think this track is contender for best song on the new EP as well, the guitar bit towards the end is just awesome and so atmospheric. The new EP is just so damn good.
Isn't it "Pour us whiskey water-kissed"? I know it makes very little difference, but I'm just checking I'm not crazy.
The meaning is pretty obvious, whats alreasy been said - a guy trying to be what te girl wants
One of my fav Jimmy songs? Its always good to know that aq band you've loved for years can still bring out songs that affect you like this one does...
This is the best song off of the new EP in my opinion. I think the song may very well be about trying to be the best and/or exactly what a girl wants. There's also a hint of longing thoughout the lyrics that make me feel it's about a long distance relationship as well.
The whole "Remember me...." section could convey wanting someone but not being able to have them because they're far from you or something.
I don't know, it's a tremendous song though, and the guitars midway through are such pure gorgeous Jimmy. This is the most "Clarity" I've heard from them in a while and I love it.
Yeah, in the album, it definitely says: "I'll need rest pour us whiskey, water-kissed."

Remember me? She said smiling Write my name Somewhere safe
Those are such cute lines. JEW can be a little mushy sometimes but I abosolutely love it. JEW is my favorite band of all time. I first heard about them during the peak popular phase during the B.A. release but never got into it because I never liked The Middle. It wasn't until recently that I rediscovered after listening to Clarity. Now, I can't like any other band because none can compare to JEW.
mmm water-kissed whiskey and lovin' sounds good
This may be my favorite JEW song, although 'Kill' and "23" are up there. It seems that the band is progressing towards something that I think we'll see on the next album... it HAS to be incredible.
Sidenote: I am getting
Write my name somewhere safe
tattoo'd on my back right shoulder
I agree with what Andaah (I know it's not a meaning but an awesome point). Very few bands that I've listned to and loved for years can still send shivers down my spine, lift me up and generaly touch me like Jimmy Eat World. My all time favourite band.
