[Verse 1: Nick Jonas]
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
Oh, that it's almost shockin'
I know, I know you know you're scared
Your heart, your mind, your soul, your body, yeah
They won't, they won't, they won't be careful
But I guess that you don't know me

[Pre-Chorus: Nick Jonas]
'Cause if I want you, then I want you, babe
Ain't goin' backwards, won't ask for space
'Cause "space" was just a word made up
By someone who's afraid to get too

[Chorus: Nick Jonas]
Close, ooh-ooh
Oh, so close, ooh-ooh
I want you close, ooh-ooh
'Cause "space" was just a word made up
By someone who's afraid to get
Close, ooh-ooh
Oh, so close, ooh-ooh
I want you close, ooh-ooh
Oh, I want you close, then close ain't close enough, no
[Verse 2: Tove Lo, Nick Jonas]
Oh, man, oh, man, I am not
Really known for ever bein' speechless (Yeah, yeah)
But now, but now, somehow
My words roll off my tongue right onto your lips, ah (Oh, babe)
I'm keepin' cool while you keep smilin'
Sayin' all the things I'm thinkin' (Oh, baby, yeah)
Oh, man, oh, man, I am like you
So I want proof I'm what you're feelin' (Oh)

[Pre-Chorus: Tove Lo, Nick Jonas]
Because if I want you, then I want you, babe
Ain't goin' backwards (Goin' backwards), won't ask for space
'Cause "space" is just a word made up
By someone who's afraid to get too

[Chorus: Nick Jonas, Tove Lo, Both]
Close, ooh-ooh (Ooh-ooh)
Oh, so close, ooh-ooh
I want you close, ooh-ooh (Yeah, baby)
'Cause "space" was just a word made up
By someone who's afraid to get
Close, ooh-ooh (Ooh-ooh)
Oh, so close, ooh-ooh
I want you close, ooh-ooh (I want you)
Oh, I want you close, then close ain't close enough, no
[Bridge: Nick Jonas, Both]
'Cause if I want you, then I want you, babe
Ain't goin' backwards, won't ask for space
'Cause "space" was just a word made up
By someone who's afraid to get too
Close

[Chorus: Both, Tove Lo, Nick Jonas]
Close, ooh-ooh (Close, babe)
Oh, so close, ooh-ooh (Oh, baby)
I want you close, ooh-ooh (Yeah, baby, yeah)
'Cause "space" was just a word made up
By someone who's afraid to get
Close, ooh-ooh (So get close, baby)
Oh, so close, ooh-ooh (Oh, baby, oh)
I want you close, ooh-ooh (Can you tell me?)
Oh, I want you close, then close ain't close enough, no

[Outro: Nick Jonas, Tove Lo, Both]
Yeah, baby (Close)
Oh, tell me, baby, what you want (Close), ooh-ooh
Oh, I want you close, then close ain't close enough, no
