"... I never go to see your face ..." is probably not correct.
I imagine it is either "..I never got to see your face..." or "...I never get to see your face..."
If you are nose to nose with someone, you cannot focus on their face. You are much too close. In order to get a full view of their face, you must step back a little.
My guess is these are song lyrics which have a double meaning. Something like "We were so close in our relationship
that I never could step back and see who you really are."
Or maybe they were working on a project together and he never took the time to step back and see how beautiful and wonderful she was because he was...."up so close..."
Cheers!

Doesn't seem to be gramatically correct -- it would be better worded as "I'm so close to you I never get to see your face." The phrase "up close" is used commonly, as in "up close and personal," but "up so close" doesn't work.
The phrase seems to mean that this person is so close to the other (probably in a physical and/or emotional relationship) and is so used to being close to her on a regular basis that he has become entrenched in his daily routine and no longer stops to take notice of her and how she looks. Kind of an artsy way to say that she has been taken for granted and not truly appreciated.
