Bright Eyes - Touch lyrics

rate me

touch, lying on the floor

wishing this could last

but knowing that it can't

and soon you will leave

and i will 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

and no one can hang out tonight

here, where the carpet is 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 with a promise of a love

you will probably never find

and touch that you can really feel

the brokenness inside,

the hope and less collide

and nothing is real

(you are new and near now to someone you used to love

when you were young; when all was gold and you two touched

and felt the flutter underneath your skin. you stood in glowing rooms,

the light dripping from both of you.

and nothing since has felt as radiant or real.)

and there is nothing more i want than just one night

that's free of doubt and sadness

one night that i can really feel.
