I wanna get closer to you, baby.

I've had my fair share of fate tunes.

It's funny how songs called 'Closer' seem to find a place in my head/heart.

When I was 15/16 it was Closer by Ne-Yo. Not much to say, except that I once danced with a boy at the school dance to this song, and I remember feeling very nervous and somewhat confused. It was either this, or 'Because of you.' Either way, I was nervous.
I do love Ne-Yo though, but I'm quite certain I didn't fully understand the song at the time.

When I was 17/18 it was Closer by Travis. This song still hurts sometimes to listen to, because it reminds me of a person I used to be. I miss her sometimes, and I'm not always sure if I'm on the right trajectory, but I'm content with who I've become, most days. I've had rose-coloured notions about love and what that means, immature ones too.
break my heart what does it matter i knew love.
Oh no wait, I'm all broken, and I cry all the time.
fuck.
I think that can only happen once. Or at the very least, I hope it only happens once.

But this one reminds me of summer days, sunshine, sitting beneath trees and laying on the beach.
It reminds me of freedom, love, passion and beautiful, new people (who have now become beautiful, comfortable people).
It makes me close my eyes and sway, and become totally lost for a few minutes.
