Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And from the look in your eyes I can tell we're just pretend
So I'm done with your vague accusations
Hung up on abusive relations
I'm better off these days
When you're not mine, yeah
But I don't know why
Want you to myself
Cause she said
I don't know why
I don't know why I
Keep you on my shelf again
I won't chase love if girl you won't give it back
Yeah you fuck with my head and now I don't know where it's at, yeah
So I'm done with your sly conversations
Hung up on the friends you've been chasing
I'm better off these days
And feeling alright, yeah
But I don't know why
I don't know why I
Want you to myself
Cause she said
I don't know why
I don't know why I
Keep you on my shelf
Cause I don't need your lies
Cause she said
I don't know why
I don't know why I
Want you to myself again
I don't mind you're leaving with someone else
Left tongue tied pulling me right through hell
But I don't know why
I don't know why I
I don't know why
I don't know why I
Want you to myself
Cause she said
I don't know why
I don't know why I
Keep you on my shelf
Cause I don't need your lies
Cause she said
I don't know why
I don't know why I
Want you to myself again
To myself again
The lyrics of Spencer Hendricks's song "Losing Touch" revolve around a complicated and tumultuous romantic relationship. The singer begins the song by expressing that they were doing well until the other person reached out to them again. The singer can sense that the connection between them is superficial and insincere. They have grown tired of the vague accusations and the toxic dynamics of the relationship, choosing instead to focus on their own well-being and happiness when the other person is not in their life.
The chorus reflects the internal conflict within the singer's mind. They admit that they don't understand why they still desire to possess and control the other person, despite knowing that it is not healthy for them. They express a sense of confusion and frustration with themselves for repeatedly allowing the other person back into their lives, as if keeping them on a "shelf."
In the second verse, the singer declares that they will no longer pursue love if the other person is not willing to reciprocate. The other person has manipulated and confused the singer, leaving them unsure of their own emotions and where they stand. The singer again asserts their decision to move on and focus on their own happiness.
The bridge of the song acknowledges that the singer doesn't mind if the other person chooses to be with someone else. It implies that the singer has been hurt deeply in this relationship and has been through a kind of emotional hell. Despite all the pain, the confusion, and the damaging lies, the singer still finds themselves longing for the other person, even though they know it is not in their best interest.
Overall, "Losing Touch" explores the complexities of an unhealthy and manipulative relationship, the struggle to break free from it, and the conflicting emotions that arise when trying to let go of someone who has caused so much pain. It illustrates the singer's internal battle between wanting to possess the other person and knowing that they are better off without them.

Well I was doing just fine til you hit me up again
