  • All I want to get is
    A little bit closer
    All I wanna know is
    Can you come a little closer?

    Here comes the breath before we get a little bit closer
    Here comes the rush before we touch, come a little closer

    The doors are open, the wind is really blowing
    The night sky is changing overhead

    It's not just all physical
    I'm the type who won't get oh so critical
    So let's make things physical
    I won't treat you like you're oh so typical
    (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
    I won't treat you like you're oh so typical

    All you think of lately
    Is getting underneath me
    All I dream of lately is how to get you underneath me

    Here comes the heat before we meet a little bit closer
    Here comes the spark before the dark, come a little closer

    The lights are off and the sun is finally setting
    The night sky is changing overhead

    It's not just all physical
    I'm the type who won't get oh so critical
    So let's make things physical
    I won't treat you like you're oh so typical

    I want you close, I want you
    I won't treat you like you're typical
    I want you close, I want you
    I won't treat you like you're typical

    Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
    Here come the dreams of you and me, here come the dreams
    Ooh-ooh
    Here come the dreams of you and me, here come the dreams

    It's not just all physical
    I'm the type who won't get oh so critical
    So let's make things physical
    I won't treat you like you're oh so typical

    I want you close, I want you
    I won't treat you like you're typical
    I want you close, I want you
    I won't treat you like you're typical

    (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
    I won't treat you like you're typical
    (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
    I won't treat you like you're typical

    All I want to get is
    A little bit closer
    All I want to know is
    Can you come a little closer? Writer/s: Gregory Allen Kurstin, Sara Quin, Tegan Quin

  • Camille from Toronto, OhLove the song, love the video, which in the fall of 2013 seems to be getting some airplay on VH1; would love this tune to get some radio time, too. The video is fun to watch and the song is very easy to listen to. I love reading Tegan's words about youth and the anticipation of things to come and how romantic that is.
