Fyfe has stated “Closer” is based on the ability to work anything through with enough time and communication.
Fyfe started writing the track with a band called Klyne from the Netherlands and it was developed from there.
Fyfe in an interview with The Line Of Best Fit when asked about the song:

[Intro]
Just a little bit closer
I'm not saying it's over
Just a little bit closer
Closer
[Chorus]
Just a little bit closer
I'm not saying it's over
Could be there for each other
Just a little but closer
Constantly you're on my mind
Slowing down the race of time
I'm not saying it's over
Just a little bit closer
[Verse]
You can lift the weight of worlds
When I'm flat out on the floor
You keep swinging blow for blow by my side
I love the way your loving shows
When you're in my day to day
And the countless hours drifting but
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought that our love was enough
I trust you, trust in me
[Chorus]
Just a little bit closer
I'm not saying it's over
Could be there for each other
Just a little but closer
Constantly you're on my mind
Slowing down the race of time
I'm not saying it's over
Just a little bit closer
Just a little bit closer
I'm not saying it's over
Could be there for each other
Just a little but closer
Constantly you're on my mind
Slowing down the race of time
I'm not saying it's over
Just a little bit closer
Closer
[Bridge]
We can work better but I know
Understand better but I know
Love ourselves better but I know
We can work anything out
[Chorus]
Just a little bit closer (we can work better but I know)
I'm not saying it's over (understand better but I know)
Could be there for each other (love ourselves better but I know)
Just a little but closer (we can work anything out)
Just a little bit closer
I'm not saying it's over
Could be there for each other
Just a little but closer
Constantly you're on my mind
Slowing down the race of time
I'm not saying it's over
Just a little bit closer
Closer was written by Nick Klein & Fyfe.
