Cover art for Closer lyrics by Tegan and Sara

I love the lyrics to this song. It's shows that not everyone is out for looks, eh?

No, it's about being attracted to someone and trying to convince them to make out or have sex without feeling like they will be used.

agnyxtsy, I'm generally not one to quibble over meaning... as it is, essentially, a personal thing. but, I disagree with what you're saying. I think it's more about the feelings that exist before sex, before making out even... perhaps even before completely acknowledging what the feelings are. it's that time when you're younger… before expectation, before rejection… a time that is full of only possibility. nothing is unrequited. the crush itself is more than enough. as Tegan said, I believe, it's "love before love."
