about
"Come Close" is another summer anthem by Kayla Williams that pays homage to the golden era of yacht-rock. The song is the second single from Williams' RETRODELIA EP, and it stays true to the project's yacht-pop vibe. With its smooth melodies, soothing harmonies, and carefree spirit, the
rhythmic feel of the song invites listeners to embrace the here and now, letting the sensations of desire and human connection wash over them.
Lyrically, "Come Close" captures the rush of emotions that flood your senses when love sparks. It playfully explores the chemistry that arises when you're drawn to someone, stirring feelings of flirtation and fun!
Lyrics:
Silver and, silver and gold
It’s 100% real
Hot and, hot and cold
Spinnin’ around on a wheel
Rhythm and, rhythm and words
A perfect song to my ears
Pain and pleasure
It’s absolutely clear
When you come close, I lose control
You don’t know what you’re doin’ to me When you come close, lights turn down low I can’t see anything
When you come close, I lose control
Of every single feeling
When you come close, time moves in slow-mo Whoa
Let’s make, make a deal
I’m already sold
I will take it, I will steal
Time with you all alone
I’m guilty, guilty
When I’m hangin’ with my friends
‘Cause I might be there physically
But I’m with you in my head
When you come close, I lose control
You don’t know what you’re doin’ to me When you come close, lights turn down low I can’t see anything
When you come close, I lose control
Of every single feeling
When you come close, time moves in slow-mo
Whoa
When you come close
When you come close
I can’t see anything
When you come close, I lose control Of every single feeling
When you come close, time moves in slow-mo Whoa
You come, you come, you come close Oooh, when you come close
You come close
You come, you come, you come close
