about

This song took almost 5 years from conception to production for it to finally come to life. It got to the point where it became less about the heartbreak that I went through, and more about getting "closer, closer" to what the song deserved.

The original story of the song is about walking away from a relationship that you know is no good. It's about knowing you accepted less than you deserved, but questioning the decision to walk away after seeing them again.

On another note, it's the first song that I wrote that made me really feel like I could be a songwriter. Choosing this as my first release after grad school was emotional and I hope y'all enjoy it.

lyrics

It’s the usual suspects
So I guess I should’ve known
When my heart climbed to my throat
It’s a feelin’ like fallin’
Then I’m trapped inside your orbit
‘Till I see she’s here too

But you keep pulling me back…
Pulling me back… Pulling me back to you…
It’s magnetic

Closer, closer, closer, stop
Closer, closer, closer…
Closer, closer, closer, stop
Closer, closer, closer…

Would your lips be bittersweet?
Or maybe the taste would break me
You linger either way
While you second guess your choice
I’m chasing words that aren’t mine
But soon I’ll know by heart

But you keep pulling me back…
Pulling me back… Pulling me back to you…
It’s magnetic

Closer, closer, closer, stop
Closer, closer, closer… (pullin’ me back… pullin’ me back)
Closer, closer, closer, stop
Closer, closer, closer… (pullin’ me back… pullin’ me back)

We were stuck in a loop cycling around and around
Gravity crept in and I went crashing down
The push, the pull, the attraction
Doesn’t matter what it was
The touch was too much

Closer, closer, closer, stop
Closer, closer, closer…
Closer, closer, closer, stop
Closer, closer, closer…

Closer, closer, closer, stop
Closer, closer, closer… (pullin’ me back… pullin’ me back)
Closer, closer, closer, stop
Closer, closer, closer… (pullin’ me back… pullin’ me back)

But you keep pullin’ me back
Pullin’ me back… Pullin’ me back to you
But you keep pullin’ me back
Pullin’ me back… Pullin’ me back to you
Yeah you keep pullin’ me back
Pullin’ me back… Pullin’ me back to you
It’s magnetic
Closer, closer, closer, stop
