As close as can get

I can't quite understand it's actual meaning.
Could you please clarify the meaning and provide some examples? I'd appreciate it.

Do you mean something like this: Get as close as you can (get) to the stage. It means when you buy tickets for a concert, you should pick the tickets close to the stage where you can see the performers. Get as close as you can (get) to the bulls eye.

Sorry, I forgot to say that I heard it on a song, here it is:
"You're as close as close can get..."

But your answer also helped me, thank you.

"You're as close as close can get..."

It means it is impossible to be any closer.
On the negative side, it means that neither partner has any breathing room. They might feel smothered.
Of course, none of these kinds of songs point out the negative. You have to get to the blues or C&W to get broken relationships.
