In his latest single, "Close," Nick Jonas has developed strong feelings for Tove Lo and wants to spend time with her.
This week's Karaoke Korner takes a look at synonyms of words used in the lyrics.
"Close"
By Nick Jonas, featuring Tove Lo
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
On that, it's almost shocking
I know, I know
You know you're scared
Your heart, your mind
Your soul, your body
They won't, they won't
They won't be careful
But I guess that
You don't know me
Cause if I want you
And I want you, babe
Ain't going backwards
Won't ask for space
Cause space was just a word
Made up by someone
Who's afraid to get too
Chorus
Close, ooh
Oh, so close, ooh
I want you close, ooh
Cause space was just a word
Made up by someone
Who's afraid to get close, ooh
Oh, so close, ooh
I want you close, ooh
Oh, I want you close
And close ain't close enough, no
Oh man, oh man
I am not really known
For ever being speechless
But now, but now somehow
My words roll off my tongue
Right onto your lips, oh
I'm keeping cool
While you keep smiling
Saying all the things I'm thinking
Oh man, oh man
I am like you
So I want proof
I'm what you're feeling
(Chorus)
