Your Touch (is so far away)

Well I want to touch your face but you're so far away

Can't seem to stretch out my arms long enough to grab ahold and keep ahold

you keep pulling away

 

But I'm not giving up

Grasp my hands for every strand of you that I can pull away to pull closer

Just to be near

 

I crave

 

I ache

 

It's your touch I need to soothe these moments that don't want to give in

Oh but your finger tips and the palms of your hand just sever these pains

And I give in and I'm lost in between those fingers

I want to clasp my own

Interlock and weave

I cant believe theres been a whole life we haven't been together

It's just these shared moments of passion that last forever

but it all ends too soon

 

Oh darlin I'm here to say I need the ache of you inside my chest

And I'd feel so alive as you with you bursting out my rib cage

Holding my heart in those beautiful hands

 

But you're so far away

And our arms aren't long enough

And our hands aren't strong enough
