For me, true story, its about a girl and her boyfriend who used to do that stuff, and he died, and now she just wants to do it again, even the little stuff. Its why she says 'closer to heaven boy, and closer to you'. That's what it means to me because I'm the girl and my Michael's the cowboy. I used to call him cowboy, too. I heard that song on the night he died, right after our song, the dance by Garth brooks. I nearly killed myself to be with him I was so sad, but he'd told me to live for him, so I knew I couldn't.
