《Closer》是菸鬼組合成員安德魯·塔格特首次參與獻聲的歌曲,歌詞的創作靈感來源於安德魯·塔格特與前任的經歷,音樂靈感是他在反覆聆聽Blink-182樂隊歌曲《I Miss You》時所得到的。在錄唱過程中,安德魯·塔格特和海爾希分別貢獻男女聲部分。在製作過程中,安德魯·塔格特有將音樂節奏變成一整首歌的想法,肖恩·弗蘭克向他介紹了如何處理和分層人聲。
歌曲歌詞
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)
