TOUCH

Another lonely boy
You�re wondering what�s the problem, what to do
Another case of nerves
It�s one more dance
You�re trying to break through
You scan a sea of faces, search for recognition, just see gray
A crowded room and you�re alone you can�t believe it�s still this way

But there�s someone over there
She�s standing by the drinking fountain
Looking for a chair
She�s dying for some company and touch

She�s dressed in borrowed clothes, she took three hours deciding what to wear
She knows her hair�s screwed up, but that�s expected, one more cross to bear
And as you watch her there�s no way you think she�d want to know your name
So there she stands, without a sign, wishing she understood this game

But she�s someone you could know
There are things that you could talk about
If you just let it show
That there�s one thing you can�t do without and that�s touch

You�re walking home alone
Your mind�s messed up, your body doesn�t care
You climb up to a view, a place to think. You think.
And you despair

So love and hope have left you
Carry on for laughs, for spite, for style
And if you�re standing on the edge of something stay a little while
A little while

�Cause there�s someone you could know
Who could lift a dream from your disaster
Throw what you must throw
Then you run back to some people who need
Someone you could know
There are things that you could talk about
If you just let it show
That there�s one thing you can�t do without and that�s touch.
