Touch
3LAU feat. Carly Paige Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No talk, seven days
Dead air, empty space
Is this where we are now?
Would call, but I don't
You could, but you won't
'Cause it's been too long now

I know that it happens
People they grow apart but
I never imagined
It'd happen to us
'Cause I knew you so well
Better than myself
But everything's changed now

Do you feel it?
Drifting slowly down
Do you feel it?
Do you feel it?
All this distance
I've been reaching out
Do you feel it?
Do you feel the way we're falling outta touch?

Do you feel it?
Do you feel the way we're falling outta touch?
Do you feel it?
Do you feel the way we're falling outta touch?

Long days, busy lives
Just can't find the time
Keep making excuses
Would call, but I don't
You could, but you won't
We've gotten use to it

I know that it happens
People they grow apart but
I never imagined
It'd happen to us
'Cause I knew you so well
Better than myself
Better than myself

Do you feel it?
Drifting slowly down
Do you feel it?
Do you feel it?
All this distance
I've been reaching out
Do you feel it?
Do you feel the way we're falling outta touch?

Do you feel it?
Do you feel the way we're falling outta touch?




Do you feel it?
Do you feel the way we're falling outta touch?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to 3LAU feat. Carly Paige's song Touch describe the feeling of growing apart from someone you were once very close to. The opening lines establish the absence of communication between the two people, with "no talk, seven days" and "dead air, empty space". The singer wonders if this is where they are now in their relationship, and imagines reaching out to the other person, but hesitates because it has been "too long now". As the song progresses, the singer reminisces about how well they used to know each other, but acknowledges that "everything's changed now". Despite this, the singer continues to reach out, longing for the other person to feel the disconnection that they are experiencing.


Overall, the song Touch conveys a melancholic feeling of loss and sadness. The verses are sparse, with simple piano chords and quiet electronic beats, emphasizing the distance between the two people. The choruses, on the other hand, are more anthemic, with Carly Paige's vocals soaring over layers of synths and drums. The repetition of the question "Do you feel it?" adds to the sense of longing and desperation, as the singer seeks some kind of affirmation from the other person.


In conclusion, 3LAU feat. Carly Paige's song Touch is a poignant reflection on the process of growing apart from someone you once knew intimately. Despite the sadness and loss that permeates the lyrics, the song ultimately feels cathartic, as the singer is able to articulate their feelings and express their desire to make things right again.
