Oh damn, oh damn, oh damn
I'm so perplexed
With just one breath, I'm locked in
Oh damn, oh damn, oh damn
I'm so perplexed
On that, it's almost shocking
I know, I know you know you're scared
Your heart, your mind, your soul, your body
They won't, they won't, they won't be careful
But I guess that you don't know me
'Cause if I want you, and I want you, babe
Ain't going backwards, won't ask for space
'Cause space is just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get too
Close, oh
Oh, so close, oh
I want you close, ooh
'Cause space is just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get close, oh
Oh, so close, oh
I want you close, ooh
Oh, I want you close and close ain't close enough, no
Oh man, oh man
I am not really known for ever being speechless
But now, but now somehow
My words roll off my tongue right onto your lips, oh
I'm keeping cool while you keep smiling
Saying all the things I'm thinking
Oh man, oh man
I am like you so I want proof of what you're feeling
'Cause if I want you, and I want you, babe
Ain't going backwards, won't ask for space
'Cause space is just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get too
Close, oh
Oh, so close, oh
I want you close, oh (yeah baby)
'Cause space was just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get close, oh
Oh, so close, ooh
I want you close, ooh
Oh, I want you close, and close ain't close enough, no
'Cause if I want you, and I want you, babe
Ain't going backwards, won't ask for space
'Cause space was just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get too close
Close, oh (close babe)
Oh, so close, oh
I want you close, oh (baby)
'Cause space was just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get close, oh
Oh, so close, oh (so get close, baby)
I want you close, oh (and tell me)
Oh, I want you close and close ain't close enough, no
Yeah, baby (close, oh)
Tell me baby what you want (close)
Oh, I want you close and close ain't close enough, no
Close Video (MV)
• Nick explained that the song is
"about how I literally can't open up and be vulnerable with someone"
• The song stems from his break-up with 2012 Miss Universe winner Olivia Culpo in the summer of 2015. He tweeted:
"I thought I knew what it would be about... Then I had a breakup. It then became very clear what this thing would be about... And that I would need to dig really deep... Sh-t is too real sometimes... Reliving some of these real life experiences through this music is hard."
• Jay Z helped him pick out the title to the album. Nick explained:
"I had a title picked out. It was called 'Unhinged.' It's one of the songs on the album, and [Jay Z] said, 'Look, listen. As I've heard the whole body of work now and gotten to know you better, I don't feel like it quite sums up the story you're telling. So, let's just talk about this year of your life. What's it been like?' And I said, 'Last year was complicated.' And he was like, 'That's the title!"
