Description
Somewhere between smoke and neon, between light madness and near-pain, that's where this feeling is born. When your gaze catches someone else's, and everything around you seems to fade into a pink haze. In moments like these, you don't think about the consequences: you just want to set the world on fire for a single touch.
Your pulse matches the rhythm, your thoughts melt away, and a voice inside you whispers softly, ‘Let it be.’ Everything is a little dangerous, a little beautiful, and indecently alive. Love here is not about tenderness - it's about the current running through your skin, about ‘shoot if you want,’ about sweet self-destruction, which for some reason is not scary at all.
And yes, tomorrow, perhaps, nothing will remain. But right now, you want to be closer - even if it's just for a breath, even if it's just for a shot.
Lyrics and translation
Original
(Close to you)
(Close to you)
I don't got a single problem with provocative
See the bodies, how they burn, it's just the way it is
Smoky, dark, crowded room, I need nothing
Under pink light in June (ah-ah-ah)
I was so cool, but then, all of a sudden
You saw me look at you
I burn for you
And you don't even know my name
If you asked me to
I'd give up everything
To be close to you
Pull the trigger on the gun I gave you when we met
I wanna be close to you
Break my heart and start a fire, you got me overnight
Just let me be
Close to you, close to you, close to you
(Just let me be) oh, close to you, close to you, close to you
And now your mouth is moving, cinematic timing
You pull me in and touch my neck, and now I'm dying
You should be mine for life, I'll be signing
Every dotted line (ah-ah-ah)
Chemical override, ultraviolet
You could be mine tonight
And I burn for you
And you don't even know my name
If you asked me to
I'd give you everything
To be close to you
Pull the trigger on the gun I gave you when we met
I wanna be close to you
Break my heart and start a fire, you got me overnight
Just let me be
Close to you, close to you, close to you
(Just let me be) oh, close to you, close to you, close to you
I burn for you
Mm
To be close to you
Pull the trigger on the gun I gave you when we met
I wanna be close to you
Break my heart and start a fire, you got me overnight
Just let me be
Close to you, close to you, close to you
(Just let me be) oh, close to you, close to you, close to you
(Just let me be) oh, close to you, close to you, close to you
(Just let me be) oh, close to you, close to you, close to you
