"Touches You" lyrics

"Touches You"

You think you're better, you're better than me
You blow me off as history
To avoid conversation you're ignoring me

When you've had enough
And you need somebody to know
When you're looking tough
But you need a way to let it go
Come on now, what's a boy supposed to do
But I can't seem to leave you alone
Touching me touching you

I wanna be your brother, wanna be your father too
Never make you run for cover even if they want us to
I wanna be your sister, wanna be your mother too
I wanna be, wanna be whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you

If you're ever losing, losing your way
Just stop and listen to the things that they say
To avoid confrontation you walk away

Growing up when I need to compromise
When I've had enough 20 years and I realize
Come on now, what's a boy supposed to do
When I can't seem to leave you alone
Touching me touching you

I wanna be your brother, wanna be your father too
Never make you run for cover even if they want us to
I wanna be your sister, wanna be your mother too
I wanna be, wanna be
Whatever else that touches you

I wanna be your brother, wanna be your father too
Never make you run for cover even if they want us to
I wanna be your sister, wanna be your mother too
I wanna be, wanna be whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you

When you've had enough
And you need somebody to know
When you're looking tough
But you need a way to let it go
Come on now, what's a boy supposed to do
But I can't seem to leave you alone
Touching me touching you

This is isn't a perfect love
One that we're guilty of
What am I supposed to do
Can't seem to leave you alone
Touching me touching you

This isn't a perfect love
(I wanna be your brother, wanna be your father too.)
One that we're guilty of
(Never make you run for cover even if they want us to.)
What am I supposed to do
(I wanna be your sister, wanna be your mother too.)
Can't seem to leave you alone
(I wanna be, wanna be whatever else that touches you.)
Touching me touching you

This isn't a perfect love
(I wanna be your brother, wanna be your father too.)
One that we're guilty of
(Never make you run for cover even if they want us to.)
What am I supposed to do
(I wanna be your sister, wanna be your mother too.)
Can't seem to leave you alone
(I wanna be, wanna be whatever else that touches you.)
