TOUCH & GO

VERSE 1
So young.
So in love.
Well, I thought we were.
Holding hands.
Separate hearts.
Over time, I understood.
Your love for me
was painted in dull tones and shades.
Less brilliant than my own.
Grey, bittersweet masquerade.


CHORUS
Touch and go.
We were oh, so close, yet never near.
Now I know.
Got a lonely road ahead of me.
Touch and go.


VERSE 2
Don?t know where this road will take me.
Don?t know where the pathway goes.
Don?t know what this load will make me.
Moving on in fits and throes.
Leaving you is
my greatest need, my greatest fear.
Hold you tight, one last time
?Cause I know I can?t stay here.


REPEAT CHORUS


BRIDGE (Vocal & Instrumental)
I only walked away
because you wouldn?t say
you needed me.
Touch and go.


VERSE 3
Making ?you and me? work
Was all that mattered most.
No more changing, rearranging me.
I?m free and you?re gone.
Still see ghosts of our former lives.
Old memories, tattered and frayed
But I?m done moving on
Living my whole life, all the way.


AMENDED CHORUS
Touch and go.
We were oh, so close, yet never near.
Now I know.
Got a brand new road ahead of me.
Touch and go.


END & FADEOUT
But I can?t get used to needing someone so.
Well, touch and go.
I can?t get used to needing someone so.
Touch and go.
Yeah, hey, yeah.
I can?t get used to needing someone so.
Yeah, touch and go.
Won?t you, touch and go.
Won?t you, touch. (3X)
Touch and go.
Yeah, touch and go.
Just touch and go. (2X)
Yeah, touch and go.
Won?t you, touch and go.
Won?t you, touch. (3X)
Touch and go.
