Touch

Touch, lying on the floor

Wishing this could last

Knowing that it can't

Soon you will leave

And I'll be on the floor

Watching the TV

Trying hard to find

A reason to move

I'm frozen in one place

Staring at the screen

Listening to the rain

Falling on the street

Some days go on too long

To know, no one can hang out tonight

Here, where the carpet's cool and soft

Underneath the clock

I feel my weary heart is put to rest

You gather around your friends

The connection that you feel

When the night has not yet died

You are new

(And near now to someone)

With a promise of a love

(You used to love)

you will probably never find

(When you were young)

(When all was gold and you two touched)

A touch that you can really feel

(And felt the flutter underneath your skin)

The brokenness inside

(You stood in glowing rooms)

(The light dripping from both of you)

As hope and less collide

(And nothing since has felt as radiant or real)

And nothing is real

Love, there's nothing more I want

Than just one night

That's free of doubt and sadness

One night, one night, one night

One night that I can really feel
