Cover art for Closer lyrics by Jars of Clay

This song is incredible! It's video-game tunes are adorable, the melodies of the song so happy, the lyrics so witty..I can't get enough of this!

I'm not sure who this song is directed to but in my perspective it sounds like it's a song about a couple who know they need each other so much: "Cause the rockets we're in get so cold and I miss your skin"

But they know they can't be together, whatever the reason: "I’m a pail on your boat with slow leaks"

And yet they still know how much they complete each other: "You’re my shirt, I an arm...You’re the L and the V, I’m the O and the E"

And of course, my favorite.. "I’m the tick, you’re the bomb" So witty! They fit for each other perfectly, but they're the grand recipe for disaster.

I dont know, just my two cents. haha.

My Interpretation

Precisely, and THANK YOU for fixing the lyrics that have been messed up above!!! The lyric is "cause the rockets we're in", not as posted above with the word "will" in place of "we're". Also, just look at the EP Cover sleeve and you see the whole picture of this song there! We are ONLY God's conduit to get His message and LOVE to each other and the dying & lost world!
