Touch me and i'll know you're there
Touch me and i'll know you care
Touch me and you will connect
Touch me and you will affect
Stranded on a cluttered shore of intellect
Trying to interpret from the indirect
Freezing in the clutches of your cold respect
Lost within the dungeon of your dialect
Bodies that are close but will not intersect
No sign of invasion, i need not protect
Words are disembodied shades
Memory of you just fades
Hopes and dreams i cannot clutch
All are meaningless but touch
Touch me and i'll know you're there
Touch me and i'll know you care
Touch me and you will connect
Touch me and you will affect
Pound a helpless kid, more than pain you inject
From a child's sweet grasping nature you defect
Man's bound to affection but then you dissect
Treat me like a leper, your fear will infect
Passion's what a lover's stroke can resurrect
Shield a friend within your arms, do not reject
Words are disembodied shades
Memory of you just fades
Hopes and dreams i cannot clutch
All are meaningless but touch
Touch me
