Touch And Go

(album: Breakdown - 1999)

In a room full of silver shadows
A customary kiss goodnight
And it slips through your tightened shoulders
It reaches your heart and dies
And the sadness is bound to kill me
But I'm too far away to care
And I'd just like to know if you will
Oh could I even get there?

Oh, back to the touch and go
When not a soul could know
When your loving was slow
We lived every night for the touch and go

Now there's no one in the night to blame you
No one in your glasses of wine
I never won, I only tamed you
Foolishly I called you mine
And you're pacing in your cage every morning
And you rattle your chains every night
And you stare past the bars never knowing
With nothing left to put up a fight

Oh, then we would touch and go
When not a soul could know
Oh your loving was slow
And we lived every night for the touch
Oh I remember, mm, the touch and go
When not a soul could know
Oh when your loving was slow
We lived every night for the touch and go

Are you still breathing?

Tonight the scent is in the city
Tonight it's on the radio
Tonight I'll leave the key beside the door
Tonight I'm gonna touch and go

Touch and go
I remember
Touch and go
Touch and go
Touch and go
