Na na na na na na na na na na
날 부른 네 목소리에 심장이 툭
언제부턴가 따라 해 난 네 말투
다 알아챌 수 있어 네 손 잡으면
네 손 잡으면 you know
어떡해야 너를 버텨낼지 몰라
멋대로 자꾸 발이
널 따라서 가는 걸
(매일) 조금씩 쌓여간
(숱한) 너와의 시간 널 향해 멈춘
손끝의 그 떨림을
난 기억해
Stay oh
너와 나 지금 이대로
Baby touch me 널 느낄 수 있어
찰나 같은 순간
그 안에서 더 커져가는
이 느낌은 baby oh
모두 전해져 너에게로
Na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na
Feel so good 너의 그 손끝이
날 끌어당긴 부드러운 그 느낌이
알고 있니 그 얼마나 의미가 있는 건지
같은 공간 속에 있는 것만 같아
주윌 둘러보면 모든 게 다 너야 it's true
스치는 모든 것이
특별해져 너라서
Stay oh (stick around)
너와 나 지금 이대로
Baby touch me 널 느낄 수 있어
찰나 같은 순간

네 손길에 하나 둘
Oh 모든 게 바뀌는 걸 oh, oh, oh, ohy

The song "Touch" by NCT tells the story of two people falling in love and the desire to always be close to each other. The opening lines suggest that the sound of the other person's voice alone can make the heart skip a beat. The lyrics go on to talk about always wanting to be around the other person and imitating their speech patterns. The singer finds it difficult to resist the urge to follow their love interest wherever they go. The chorus emphasizes the physical connection between the two, and the feeling of being able to grow and become closer in that fleeting moment of physical touch. The bridge discusses how the singer can hardly remember their life before their love interest, as everything now revolves around them. The song has a sense of urgency and desire throughout, as the singer cannot resist the pull of the other person, both physically and emotionally.
One interesting fact about "Touch" is that it was released as a part of NCT's eight-member unit NCT 127's debut studio album "NCT #127". The release was a hit, going on to make it onto the Billboard 200 chart. "Touch" was also released as a single in Japan in 2018, and again in English as a part of NCT 127's album "Regular-Irregular" in 2018. Another interesting fact about the song is that it was written by a songwriter named Lee Seu-ran, who has also written hits for other K-pop groups such as SNSD.

It's amazing how Yuta is so versatile. He always fits the song concept, regardless of the genre. He can be the fiercest member in Punch, the craziest in Gimme Gimme, and the brightest in Touch.
