《Closer》是菸鬼组合成员安德鲁·塔格特首次参与献声的歌曲,歌词的创作灵感来源于安德鲁·塔格特与前任的经历,音乐灵感是他在反覆聆听Blink-182乐队歌曲《I Miss You》时所得到的。在录唱过程中,安德鲁·塔格特和海尔希分别贡献男女声部分。在製作过程中,安德鲁·塔格特有将音乐节奏变成一整首歌的想法,肖恩·弗兰克向他介绍了如何处理和分层人声。
歌曲歌词
英文
Hey, I was doing just fine before I met you
I drink too much and that's an issue but I’m OK
Hey, you tell your friends it was nice to meet them
But I hope I never see them again
I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke down car
And four years, no calls
Now you're looking pretty in a hotel bar
And I can't stop
No, I can’t stop
So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
You look as good as the day I met you
I forget just why I left you, I was insane
Stay and play that Blink-182 song
That we beat to death in Tucson, OK
I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke down car
And four years, no call
Now I'm looking pretty in a hotel bar
And I can't stop
No, I can't stop
So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can’t afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain’t ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
We ain’t ever getting older
So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older (we ain’t ever getting older)
We ain't ever getting older (we ain't ever getting older)
We ain't ever getting older (we ain't ever getting older)
