Lyrics

Close Enough to Touch

I was close enough to touch you today
But a barrier of some kind got in the way
I could smell your pretty perfume and got high
But I could not make a sound to tell you why
I could feel your body heat at one stage
I was close enough to touch you today

I was close enough to whisper in your ear
But my voice was choked by some internal fear
So I couldn?t let you know the way I feel
And I didn?t even know if it was real
And I wasn?t even sure what words to say
When I was close enough to touch you today

I have seen you many times walk this way
I have watched you from my shadows so afraid
To break my foolish cover so you?d know
The feelings that I had no strength to show
Or how much I loved you just in case you laughed
Or embarrassed you with my lack of class
Or annoyed you by invasion of your space
But I was close enough to touch you today
I was close enough but let you walk away
I was close enough but let you walk away
I was close enough but let you walk away
