Tate McRae - So Close To What Lyrics






Miss possessive


(No, seriously, get your hands off my man)

Baby blues undressin' him
Funny how you think that I don't notice it
Acting like we're friends, we're the opposite
I know what you are, tryin' so hard
Running 'round tryin' to f*ck a star (go)

Look at the floor or ceilin'
Or anyone else you're feelin'
Take home whoever walks in
Just keep your eyes off him
Yes, I'm Miss possessive
Pretty girl, gon' learn your lesson
Some fights you're never gon' win
Just keep your eyes off him

Better, better keep your, keep your, keep your, keep your
Better, better keep your, keep your, keep your eyes off
Better, better keep your, keep your, keep your, keep your
Better, better keep your, keep your, keep your eyes off

Yeah, I'll be nice up until I'm not
And oh, so generous, tonight I forgot
I'm telling you, you haven't seen the 1AM Side of me
When I'm two drinks in, and you just can't leave me and my man alone (go)

Look at the floor or ceilin'
Or anyone else you're feelin'
Take home whoever walks in
Just keep your eyes off him
Yes, I'm Miss possessive (off him)
Pretty girl, gon' learn your lesson (off him)
Some fights you're never gon' win (off him)
Just keep your eyes off him

Better, better keep your, keep your, keep your, keep your
Better, better keep your, keep your, keep your eyes off
Better, better keep your, keep your, keep your, keep your
Better, better keep your, keep your, keep your eyes off

Better, better keep your, keep your, keep your, keep your (oh)
Better, better keep your, keep your, keep your eyes off
Better, better keep your, keep your, keep your, keep your (better keep your eyes off)
Better, better keep your, keep your, keep your eyes off (better keep your eyes off)

Look at the floor or ceilin'
Or anyone else you're feeling'
Take home whoever walks in
Just keep your eyes off him (better, better keep your, keep your, keep your eyes off)
Yes, I'm Miss possessive
Pretty girl, gon' learn your lesson
Some fights you're never gon' win
Just keep your eyes off him (better, better keep your, keep your, keep your eyes off)

2 Hands


I want your two hands
Don't ever let me go
I want your two hands
Two hands on me

Don't need to tell me you love me
Seventeen times in a day (yeah)
I don't need to hear I'm your number one
And everybody's second place
You don't gotta shit-talk your last girl
Sayin' she don't compare to me (yeah)
Baby, I ain't saying you don't know me well (ooh)
It's just not the shit I need

'Cause they're just words, they don't mean much
(They don't mean so much, no, no)
Need a little less talk
And a lot more touch

I just want your two hands on me at all times, baby
If you let go (I want your two hands), better put 'em right back fast
Want your two hands on me like my life needs savin'
Let 'em all know (I want your two hands)
Can you do it like that? Yeah (I want, I want)

You ain't gonna win with the jewelry
Don't need the cute f*ckin' names (no)
We don't gotta live out at hotels
We could do it in my room all day
And I know you could spoil me plenty more
But I don't really trust that anymore
And I already got that bag for free
But if you bought it, then that's sweet (sweet)

No, they're just things, they don't mean much
(They don't mean so much, no, no)
Seen a real good thing
Turn to real f*cked up

I just want your two hands on me at all times, baby
If you let go (I want your two hands), better put 'em right back fast
Want your two hands on me like my life needs savin'
Let 'em all know (I want your two hands)
Can you do it like that? Yeah, 'cause

I want 'em all to see
You look good on top of me
At this time at night, I need
Not one, not three
Just your two hands on me like my life needs savin'
Let 'em all know (I want your two hands)
Can you do it like that? Yeah, oh

I want your two hands
Don't ever let me go
I want your two hands
Put two hands on me (oh)
I want your two hands (don't ever let me go)
Don't ever let me go (woah)
(I want your two hands) I want your two hands
(Can you do it like that?) Put two hands on me

I just want your two hands on me at all times, baby
If you let go (I want your two hands), better put 'em right back fast
Want your two hands on me like my life needs savin'
Let 'em all know (I want your two hands)
Can you do it like that? Yeah, 'cause

I want 'em all to see
You look good on top of me
At this time at night, I need
Not one, not three
Just your two hands on me like my life needs savin'
Let 'em all know (I want your two hands)
Can you do it like that? Yeah

Revolving door


My cold heart is finally melting
I moved from the east to the west wing
I finally think it might be helping, oh, oh
I confess, I'm not that versatile
Say I'm good, but I might be in denial
Takes one call and that undoes the dial, oh

Baby, I tried to call you off like a bad habit
Tried to call you off like a bad habit

But I keep comin' back like a revolvin' door
Say I couldn't want you less, but I just want you more
So I keep comin' back like a revolvin' door
Say I couldn't want you less, but I just want you more

And more, and more
And more, ooh
And more, and more
And more, ooh

Shut it down
That I tried, then you'll come, come around
F*ck me good, f*ck me up, then I gotta move towns
How'd I get from a gym to your couch? Oh, how?

Baby, I tried to (tried to) call you (call you) off like a bad habit
Tried to (tried to) call you (call you) off like a bad habit

But I keep comin' back like a revolvin' door
Say I couldn't want you less, but I just want you more
So I keep comin' back like a revolvin' door
Say I couldn't want you less, but I just want you more

And more (get what I want), and more (can't get enough of you)
And more (yeah, when you make me), ooh
And more (get what I want), and more (can't get enough of you)
And more (yeah, when you make me), ooh

Change my mind so much I can't find it
I worked so much, can't be reminded
Life feels worse, but good with you in it
Supposed to be on stage, but f*ck it, I need a minute
Change my mind so much it's exhaustin'
I still think 'bout that night out in Boston
I'm more hurt than I would admit
I'm supposed to be an adult but f*ck it, I need a minute

I need a minute, I need a minute
I need a, I need-, f*ck it, I need a minute
I need a minute, I need a minute
I need a, I need-, f*ck it, I need a minute

I need a minute
Ooh, I need a minute

bloodonmyhands


[ Featuring Flo Milli ]

I've got some blood on my hands
I've got some blood on my hands
I've got some blood on my hands

Held you in the night
I kept all your secrets in a vault inside my mind
I was so prepared to let you cross all my lines
I was so prepared to fight a war on your side
So where'd it go, boy?
One second you were begging for my time, then, boy
You're scheming like you out of your f*cking mind and, boy
You forgot I've got a lotta pride and choices
Didn't think that I'd go

Dance like I can't be bothered, know it kills you
Bounced back and found another and he hates you
Oh, baby boy, you're seein' stars
And it f*cks you up so hard
Dance like I can't be bothered when I'm half-drunk
Moved on and found another, you're my worst one
Oh, baby boy, you're seein' stars
And it f*cks you up so hard (oh, yeah)

I got a new man to please, fallin' for you is a damn disease
Holdin' it down, I knew you was messin' around, you wanna go play in the streets
But you know me, I ain't goin' for that, I hit the club and I'm throwin' it back
One walk through and them niggas attack, so when they call, I answer that
Okay, had a couple drinks and he fallin'
Stars in the whip, it's cream, bitch, I'm ballin'
Boy, get a grip, I'm sick of you callin'
He don't believe it's over, he stallin'

I'm pretty and worth it
My feelings ain't hurtin'
Won't stay if it ain't workin'
Didn't think that I'd go

Dance like I can't be bothered, know it kills you
Bounced back and found another and he hates you
Oh, baby boy, you're seein' stars
And it f*cks you up so hard
Dance like I can't be bothered when I'm half-drunk
Moved on and found another, you're my worst one
Oh, baby boy, you're seein' stars
And it f*cks you up so hard

Blood on my hands (I've got blood on my hands)
Some blood on my hands (I've got blood on my hands)
Yeah, I move as fast as I can
And I know it f*cks you up so hard
Blood on my hands
I've got some blood on my hands
Yeah, I move as fast as I can
And I know it f*cks you up so hard

I've got some blood on my hands
I've got some blood on my hands

Dear god


Lay there, back of my mind, he stay there
Pops up time to time like, "Hey there"
Haven't seen you in two years, but, baby, we still breathe the same air
New love and it's almost workin'
And I never used to be this person
But here I am
Hands on my chest and my knees on the carpet
Hopin' you'll stop it

Dear god, take his kiss right out of my brain
Take the pleasure out of my pain
Take the way he'd used to say I love you
Dear god, get his handprint out of my back
Take amazing out of our sex
Take away the way I still might want to

Flex all the memories, babe
I play 'em all, I play 'em all, I play 'em all, I play 'em all back
To erase his name, I'd give it all, give it all, give everything that I have
All my no good thoughts, I pray about, pray about, pray about, pray about that
Take away the way I still might want to

Hottest thing I've ever touched, just bein' honest
Really tryin' be good, I promise
That's why I'm here
With my hands on my chest and my knees on the carpet
Hopin' you'll stop it

Dear god, take his kiss right out of my brain
Take the pleasure out of my pain
Take the way he'd used to say I love you
Dear god, get his handprint out of my back
Take amazing out of our sex
Take away the way I still might want to

Flex all the memories, babe
I play 'em all, I play 'em all, I play 'em all, I play 'em all back
To erase his name, I'd give it all, give it all, give everything that I have
All my no good thoughts, I pray about, pray about, pray about, pray about that
Take away the way I still might want to

Dear god
Dear god

Dear god, I hope you're listenin'
(I play 'em all, I play 'em all, I play 'em all, I play 'em all back)
I pray to him, I'm missin'
Dear god, I hope you're listenin'
(I play 'em all, I play 'em all, I play 'em all, I play 'em all back)
I pray to him, I'm missin'
Dear god, I hope you're listenin'

Dear god, dear god, dear god
I'd give it all, give it all, give everything that I have
Dear god, dear god, dear god (I pray about, pray about, pray about)

Purple lace bra


I've been singin', I've been screamin'
I've been goin' all night till my throat's bleedin'
I've been cryin', I've been dreamin'
Yeah, I know that you look but you don't see it

Did my purple laced bra get your attention? Uh
Yeah, the look in your eye made me question

Would you hear me more if I whispered in your ear?
Made all my inner thoughts sound like, uh uh
Would you hear me more if I touch you right here?
Made everything I want sound like, uh uh

Would you hear me, hear me?
Would you hear me, hear me?
Would you hear me
If all my inner thoughts sound like, uh uh?

I could take it off for you and tell you what I'm goin' through, mm
'Cause my body positioning determines if you're listenin', ah
Did my dance on your lap pique your interest? Yeah
Now I've got you like that, let me finish

Would you hear me more if I whispered in your ear?
Made all my inner thoughts sound like, uh uh
Would you hear me more if I touch you right here?
Made everything I want sound like, uh uh

Would you hear me, hear me?
Would you hear me, hear me?
Would you hear me
If all my inner thoughts sound like

I'm losin' my mind, I'm losin' my head
You only listen when I'm undressed
Hear what you like and none of the rest, 'est
I'm losin' my mind 'cause giving you head's
The only time you think I've got depth
Feel what you like and none of the rest

Would you hear me more if I whispered in your ear?
Made all my inner thoughts sound like, uh uh
Would you hear me more if I touch you right here?
Made everything I want sound like
Would you hear me more if I whispered in your ear?
Made all my inner thoughts sound like, uh uh
Would you hear me more if I touch you right here?
Made everything I want sound like, uh uh

Would you hear me, hear me?
Would you hear me, hear me?
Would you hear me
If all my inner thoughts sound like, uh uh?

Signs


Okay, boy, that's some kinda crazy
Thinkin' we're all good
It's the opposite lately
I know you're intelligent
Just no rocket scientist
So take all my silences
And do your damn best to figure it out

That one look means I wanna go
I'm not mad means you're in trouble
If you know me, boy, you should know, you should
Say I need space, don't look at the door
I hate you means I need you more
If I say, "Go have fun, babe," that's just short for you should

Know me better, see the signs
Shouldn't have to tell you or whatever, read my mind, oh
If I need your sex, like, quick
Said somethin' and now I'm pissed
It's like that or it's like this
You should know, you should know

For god's sake, don't believe a word that I say
I wanna touch on you all day
Instead I'm pushin' you away
So classic, assumin' you're telepathic
Okay, it might make me batshit
Just doin' it out of habit, oh, no

Say I need space, don't look at the door
I hate you means I need you more
If I say, "Go have fun, babe," that's just short for you should

Know me better, see the signs
Shouldn't have to tell you or whatever, read my mind, oh
If I need your sex like quick
Said somethin' and now I'm pissed
It's like that or it's like this
You should know, you should know (you should've known)

Know me better, see the signs
Shouldn't have to tell you or whatever, read my mind, oh
If I need your sex like quick
Said somethin' and now I'm pissed
It's like that or it's like this
You should know, you should know

Know me better
Know me better (see the signs)
Know me better

If you love me, you should know me better, see the signs
Shouldn't have to tell you or whatever, read my mind
If I need your sex like quick

I know love


[ Featuring The Kid LAROI ]

You said, "No lie, girl, you lookin' sexy on the magazine, but what you doin' after the photos?"
Looks like I'll be in the covers with you practicin' a new kinda promo
I said, "Baby, if you want, I'll give you somethin' you can hold on, you can feel for now, yeah"
I said, "Baby if you want, I'll give you somethin', but you only got me right now," because

I know love when it hits, when it hits, when it hits
Yeah, I know love, yeah
Yeah, I know love when it hits, when it feels like this

Got you sick in the mornin', down on your knees
So f*cked up, fallin' for me
I know love when it hits, when it hits, when it hits
Yeah, I know love, I know love

We started off friends, how we end up here?
I don't know, but I don't see no problems
We started off friends, how you end up here next to me?
(Honestly, this shit is crazy)
I said you're my type, out in Mexico that night
You said it was gon' be quick, now we're twelve months in, so
Everybody needs somebody they can hold down
Girl, stop actin' like you're tough and let your guard down

I know love when it hits, when it hits, when it hits
Yeah, I know love, yeah (I know love)

And my clothes and my plans
Know you're prayin' on my downfall (oh yeah)

You're so composed, it's insufferable

You know, I thought we were friends
But I get this weird feeling in my stomach
I can't tell if you wanna kill me or if you wanna kiss me
And sometimes I'm flattered, but also, f*ck you
Get the f*ck away from me

Say you wanna know me, you don't wanna know me
You just wanna do what I do
You've been tryin' to read me, think you wanna be me

Say you wanna know me, you don't wanna know me

No I'm not in love


Swear I'm only sleepin' at your house
Six times in one week 'cause it's convenient
Only kinda dressin' like you now
'Cause your clothes, they fit me
And that's good reason, oh, yeah

Told you one, two, three times
Don't you read into us
Every friend of mine
I told them the same

No, I am not in love
I am not thinkin' 'bout you
Sun's not gonna come up
And I don't hate every girl your eyes go to
I am not in love
Sky has never been blue
No, I'm not in love
No, not, not, not with you
No, I'm not, not, not, not

(I am not in love, no, no)
(I am not in love)
(I am not in love, no, no)
Why would you think that?
Why would you think that?

I'm not bothered lookin' up your exes
Matter of fact, we could probably be friendsies
Only singing to your songs like, oh
We've got the same taste, that ain't my fault
If I slip and I somehow say it
You should know in advance I'm wasted
I don't really care what it feels like
Or what it looks like, babe

No, I am not in love
I am not thinkin' 'bout you
Sun's not gonna come up
And I don't hate every girl your eyes go to
I am not in love
Sky has never been blue
No, I'm not in love
No, not, not, not with you
No, I'm not, not, not, not

(I am not in love, no, no)
(I am not in love)
(I am not in love, no, no) (I'm not in, not in)
Why would you think that?
Why would you think that?

(I am not in love, no, no)
(I am not in love)
(I am not in love, no, no)
Why would you think that?
Why would you think that?

Told you one, two, three times
Don't you read into us
Every friend of mine
I told them the same

No, I am not in love
I am not thinkin' 'bout you
Sun's not gonna come up
And I don't hate every girl your eyes go to
I am not in love
Sky has never been blue
No, I'm not in love
No, not, not, not with you
No, I'm not, not, not

(I am not in love, no, no)
(I am not in love)
(I am not in love, no, no)
Why would you think that?
Why would you think that?

(I am not in love, no, no)
(I am not in love)
(I am not in love, no, no)
Why would you think that?
Why would you think that?

Means I care


Shit, I probably shouldn't
That's my favorite line
Stick around, I woulda
It just isn't what I'm like
Got no better way to put it
Know you're puttin' in the time
And every time I'm like, no, no, no
You know I don't mean it, right?

It's nothin' that you did or didn't do
I say I will and never follow through
The second I admit I felt it too
Yeah, I was gone

If I cut you off, it just means I care
Downright shut you out must mean that it's goin' somewhere
It's not what I want, it's just all I know
If overnight I up and end it, run away without a mention, go ghost
I like you the most

I like you the most
I like you the most
I like you, I like you
I like you the most

And it's not about bein' hard to get
But I planted a seed in the back of my head
Little too good, got me second guessin'
Never been good at the self-expression

Nothin' that you did or could've done
No, this just ain't a fight you could've won
Sorry, I'm the best who's ever been
At stringing you along

If I cut you off, it just means I care
Downright shut you out, must mean that it's goin' somewhere
It's not what I want, it's just all I know
If overnight I up and end it, run away without a mention, go ghost
I like you the most

If I cut you off, it just means I care, means I care
If I cut you off, it just means I care
Yeah, if I cut you off, it just means I care, means I care
If I cut you off, it just means I care

If I cut you off, it just means I care
Downright shut you out, must mean that it's goin' somewhere
It's not what I want, it's just all I know
If overnight I up and end it, run away without a mention, go ghost
I like you the most

I like you the most
I like you the most
I like you, I like you
I like you the most
I like you the most
I like you the most (my baby, oh)
I like you, I like you

Greenlight


Two chains
Hangin' off your chest when you kiss me
So strange
Who'd have thought we'd get here with our history?

You know, I tried to be what he thought I was, I wasn't
I tried to be everything I thought he wanted
And truthfully, I'm so over but stuck on it
And if I'm honest

I'm still waitin' at the green light
I'd tell you what I feel like, but I can't go
I'm still tryin' to make a beeline
Stuck up in a rewrite of the same song
Band-Aids and bullet holes, don't go
I can't unhear shit I been told
Guess I never healed right
Maybe it's a green light, but I can't go

Midnight, one-twenty on the PCH, just you and me
Babe, you know, I can't lie
The most alive I think I'll maybe ever be, oh

You know, I tried to be what he thought I was, I wasn't
I tried to be everythin' I thought he wanted
And truthfully, I'm so over but stuck on it
And if I'm honest

I'm still waitin' at the green light
To tell you what I feel like, but I can't go
I'm still tryin' to make a beeline
Stuck up in a rewrite of the same song
Band-Aids and bullet holes, don't go
I can't unhear shit I been told
Guess I never healed right
Maybe it's a green light, but I can't go

(I can't go) I can't let go
(I can't go) I can't let go
(I can't go) I can't let go
(I can't go)

I'm still waitin' at the green light
To tell you what I feel like, but I can't go
I'm still tryin' to make a beeline
Stuck up in a rewrite of the same song
Band-Aids and bullet holes, don't go
I can't unhear shit I've been told
Guess I never healed right
Maybe it's a green light, but I can't go

Maybe it's a green light
Green light, green Light
I can't go

Nostalgia


Daddy went to law school and could've been an architect
Now he's turnin' sixty and wonders where the big dream went
Tucker never said a lot, two eyes down, a little luck
Took it to the ivies and never really knew for what

And I, I'll bite my tongue ten times a day
Half swear to god, I might just pray
And I've got a lot to lose
So might as well lose it anyway
And I, I manifested you would leave
So the day you did, I had you beat
Three steps ahead of everything
Lately, I wake up feelin' like

Oh, where does the time go?
You never really know
'Til you're standing in the bathroom mirror like
No, shit, we got so close
Hit me fast and slow
Funny thing about nostalgia
Didn't show up 'til I lost ya (ooh)
Didn't show up 'til I lost ya (ooh)

My ma wasn't raised right, oh no
All she ever knew was guilt
Little did she know
That's all her kids would ever grow to feel

And every choice leads back to the trait
Every time that I drink and heart that I break
It's a truckload of regret and stupid mistakes
And, man, lately I wake up feelin' like

Oh, where does the time go?
You never really know
'Til you're standing in the bathroom mirror, like
No, shit, we got so close
Hit me fast and slow
Funny thing about nostalgia
Didn't show up 'til I lost ya (when I lost ya) (ooh)
Didn't show up 'til I lost ya (when I lost ya, no, no) (ooh)
Didn't show up 'til I lost ya (ooh)
Didn't show up 'til I lost ya (ooh)

And I'll, I'll bite my tongue ten times a day
Half swear to god, I might just pray
And I've got a lot to lose
So might as well lose it anyway
And I, I manifested you would leave
So the day you did, I had you beat
Three steps ahead of everything

So Close to What is the third studio album by Canadian singer Tate McRae, released on February 21, 2025, through RCA Records. It was supported by the singles "It's OK I'm OK", "2 Hands", "Sports Car", and "Revolving Door". Upon its release, So Close to What was met with generally positive reviews from music critics and topped the record charts in Australia, Canada, Flanders, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland and the United States. To promote the album, McRae is set to embark on the Miss Possessive Tour throughout the Americas and Europe in 2025. So Close to What marked McRae's first number one album on the US Billboard 200 and is her most commercially successful album to date, marking the biggest debut for a Canadian female artist of the 2020s.

On November 14, 2024, McRae announced the release of her third studio album through social media. According to a press release, So Close to What is set to capture "the journey of growing up when the road ahead feels infinite". So Close to What offers an "introspective exploration of self-discovery, love, and searching for balance" in uncertain times.

On January 16, a version of the album intended for its physical release leaked online, which spurred McRae to write two extra songs for the album. The final track listing was eventually revealed through her Instagram account on February 12, 2025. The album was released on February 21, 2025.

In the United States, So Close to What debuted atop the Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 177,000 album-equivalent units (consisting of 137.30 million on-demand streams and 71,000 pure album sales). With this feat, So Close to What marks McRae's highest sales and streaming week across all her studio projects as well as her first number one album on the chart. Furthermore, So Close to What marked the biggest debut week by units for a studio album by a woman in five months, since Sabrina Carpenter's Short n' Sweet.
