It's been "four years" with "no calls," and now they meet again by chance with her "looking pretty in a hotel bar." And while they have no emotional connection, physically, he's attracted to her still, and he claims, "I can't stop, no, I can't stop."Ĭhainsmokers member, Alex Pall, explains that this scene is meant to suggest "that sort of rush of memories and emotions, mostly physical, leading to a hook up," suggesting that the narrator and this woman are about to have sex. The Chainsmokers continue "Closer" by singing "I know it breaks your heart / Moved to the city in a broke down car." Here, Taggart is likely describing how their relationship ended-he left her behind and moved away. He's only curious about her for the moment. He continues, "Hey, you tell your friends it was nice to meet them / But I hope I never see them again." She's out with some of her friends when he sees her, and he doesn't care about her friends at all. He knows it's wrong, but he wants to not talk about it for now. He acknowledges that part of the problem their relationship didn't work out was because he would get drunk.
In the first verse, Andrew Taggart (one of the two members of The Chainsmokers) sings, "Hey, I was doing just fine before I met you / I drink too much and that's an issue but I'm okay." He's setting a scene in which he sees an old friend (who we'll find out later is an ex-girlfriend).
