Come Closer Lyrics

I want to lay my head down
Come closer, come closer
What's that uncomfortable sound
Of your key in the door?
I hear you walking out
Walking out again
Why didn't you stay a while
To say goodbye, my friend?

I want to lay my head down
Come closer, come closer
I thought you'd turn to me
But you were turning around
I think I'm losing you
Losing you again
Why didn't you stay a while
To say goodbye, my friend?
My friend

[Chorus:]
Winter shadow cools you
White before your eyes
Summer shadow soothes
Nothing on your mind
Winter shadow cools you
White before your eyes
Summer shadow suits you
Tonight

I want to lay my head down
Come closer, come closer
Trying not to remember
Our most precious times
Remember winter's cold
And summers by my side
Please tell me I do leave
A void of any kind

Say goodbye now

[Chorus x2]

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.

My opinion: The inevitable end of a relationship. The significant other seems to have mentally checked out, and is indifferent to her ("winter shadow cools you, white before your eyes"). They may already be planning to move on to someone else, something fresh and new ("summer shadow soothes, nothing on your mind"). She of course, is still committed to the relationship and simply wants to make it work, for the other to simply stay.

Whatever the meaning, the song is absolutely gorgeous and lush.
