Sometimes When We Touch

(álbum: Love Songs Of The '70s - 2007)

You ask me if I love you and I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you on what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning to see the real you

And sometimes when we touch the honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you 'til I die, 'til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

Romance and all it's strategy leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter still trapped within my youth

And sometimes when we touch the honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you 'til I die, 'til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

At times I'd like to break you and drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through and hold you endlessly

At times I understand you and I know how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you, I've watched love pass you by
At times I think we're drifters still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister, but then the passion flares again

And sometimes when we touch the honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you 'til I die, 'til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides, oh
