Untouchable
Taylor Swift Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm reaching out and I just can't tell you why
I'm caught up in you
I'm caught up in you
Untouchable, burning brighter than the sun
And when you're close, I feel like coming undone
In the middle of the night, when I'm in this dream
It's like a million little stars spelling out your name
You gotta come on, come on
Say that we'll be together
Come on, come on
Little taste of heaven
Oh, oh
It's half full and I won't wait here all day
I know you're saying that you'd be here anyway
But you're untouchable, burning brighter than the sun
And now that you're close I feel like coming undone
In the middle of the night, when I'm in this dream
It's like a million little stars spelling out your name
You gotta come on, come on
Say that we'll be together
Come on, come on, oh
In the middle of the night, we can form this dream
I wanna feel you by my side, standing next to me
You gotta come on, come on
Say that we'll be together
Come on, come on
Little taste of heaven
I'm caught up in you
Oh, oh
But you're untouchable, burning brighter than the sun
Now that you're close I feel like coming undone
In the middle of the night, when I'm in this dream
It's like a million little stars spelling out your name
You gotta come on, come on
Say that we'll be together
Come on, come on
Oh, oh, oh
In the middle of the night, when I'm in this dream
It's like a million little stars spelling out your name
You gotta, come on, come on
Say that we'll be together
Come on, come on
Come on
In the middle of the night, we can form this dream
I wanna feel you by my side, standing next to me
You gotta come on, come on
Say that we'll be together
Come on, come on
Little taste of heaven
Oh, oh
Oh
Oh
And in the middle of the night, when I'm in this dream
It's like a million little stars spellin' out your name
You gotta come on, come on
Oh, come on, come on
Come on, come on
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Like a million little stars
Spellin' out your name
They're spellin' out your name
Oh
Untouchable is a song by Taylor Swift that features lyrics that describe the hope and longing that a person feels for someone who may seem out of reach. The singer compares the person to a "distant diamond sky," using an extended metaphor to show their beauty and inaccessibility. She admits to being caught up in the person and unable to explain why she feels this way. The chorus repeats lines about the person being "untouchable" and "burning brighter than the sun," suggesting that they are someone special and desirable, but also that they are unattainable.
The middle section of the song presents a dreamlike sequence where the singer sees "a million little stars" spelling out the person's name, emphasizing their importance in her life. She pleads with the person to come together and also references a "little taste of heaven," suggesting that being with them would bring great joy and happiness. The repetition of the chorus and the final lines about the stars spelling the person's name create a sense of longing and desire that underscore the song's emotional content.

Untouchable like a distant diamond sky
I feel like you're so far away and out of reach, like a diamond in the sky
I'm reaching out and I just can't tell you why
I'm trying to connect with you but I don't really know why
I'm caught up in you
I'm completely captivated by you
Untouchable, burning brighter than the sun
You are dazzling and dazzling, shining brighter than the sun, but I can't reach you
And when you're close, I feel like coming undone
Your proximity is overwhelming and makes me feel like I'm losing control
In the middle of the night, when I'm in this dream
I'm dreaming of you in the middle of the night
It's like a million little stars spelling out your name
It feels as though the entire universe is conspiring to remind me of you
You gotta come on, come on
I need you to come to me
Say that we'll be together
Promise me that we'll be together
Little taste of heaven
Being with you feels like a little taste of heaven
It's half full and I won't wait here all day
I'm willing to give this a chance, but I'm not going to wait around forever
I know you're saying that you'd be here anyway
I know you're telling me that you'll be here for me no matter what
In the middle of the night, we can form this dream
We can make this dream a reality together
I wanna feel you by my side, standing next to me
I want to feel you close to me, standing right beside me
Oh, oh
This is an emotional moment
