Touch
Troye Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Glow is low and its dimming
And the silence is ringing
And I can almost feel your breath
I can almost feel the rest

Night is young and we're living
Hands move, moving steady
And the time is moving slower
I can feel we're getting closer
closer, yeah

Standing in the eye of the storm
My eyes start to roll
To the curl of your lips
In the center of eclipse
In total darkness I, I reach out and touch

My mind's goin' to racing
On a horse that's escaping
And I'm ready to jump,
Yeah I'm ready to swim

Life is chances that are taken
But nothing's ever broken
They're just pieces on the ground
New hands need to build them

My mind's goin'|to running
My hands cut loose
But there's no need for answers
Just the things you gotta do

And I need you to trust
That I'm lost and we must
Get past all these rules
We must choose
To reach out and touch

Standing in the eye of the storm
My eyes start to roll
To the curl of your lips
In the center of eclipse
In total darkness I reach out and

Standing in the eye of the storm
My eyes start to roll
To the curl of your lips




In the center of eclipse
In total darkness I reach, I reach out and touch

Line by Line Meaning

Glow is low and its dimming
The light is fading and growing weaker


And the silence is ringing
Even though it’s quiet, it feels like there is noise in the air


And I can almost feel your breath
The presence of the other person is almost tangible


I can almost feel the rest
There is something else to come, something more than what is present now


Night is young and we're living
There is still time and we’re making the most of it


Hands move, moving steady
They are moving confidently and gracefully


And the time is moving slower
It feels like time is standing still


I can feel we're getting closer, closer, yeah
The attraction between the two is growing stronger


Standing in the eye of the storm
Being in the midst of chaos and uncertainty


My eyes start to roll
Feeling dizzy, confused and overwhelmed


To the curl of your lips
The slightest expression on the other’s face can make an impact


In the center of eclipse
Being enveloped by darkness, uncertainty and confusion


In total darkness I, I reach out and touch
Even without clarity or a clear vision, take a chance and make a move


My mind's goin' to racing
Feeling anxious, nervous and overwhelmed


On a horse that's escaping
A feeling of being on the verge of losing control


And I'm ready to jump,
Taking a risk and making a leap of faith


Yeah, I'm ready to swim
Taking on a new challenge and adapting to new waters


Life is chances that are taken
Life is about taking risks and making choices


But nothing's ever broken
Even if things go wrong, there is always an opportunity to rebuild


They're just pieces on the ground
Challenges are just obstacles that can be overcome


New hands need to build them
We need to find new ways to approach and solve problems


My mind's goin' to running
Feeling restless and anxious


My hands cut loose
Taking an action, even if it’s not perfectly thought out


But there's no need for answers
Sometimes, it’s okay not to have all the answers


Just the things you gotta do
Sometimes, you just have to do things and see where they lead you


And I need you to trust
Trust is an important part of a relationship


That I’m lost and we must
Being uncertain and making mistakes is a part of life, and we need to navigate through them together


Get past all these rules
Breaking away from societal expectations in order to find what feels right


We must choose
We have a choice to make about how to approach our relationship


To reach out and touch
Taking a chance and making a move

Night is young and we're living
Hands move, moving steady
And the time is moving slower
I can feel we're getting closer, closer

Standing in the eye of the storm
My eyes start to roam
To the curl of your lips
In the center of eclipse
In total darkness I, I reach out and touch

My mind's gone on racing
On a horse that's escaping
And I'm ready to jump,
Yeah, I'm ready to swim

Yeah, but there's no need for answers

Get past all these rules
We must choose
To reach out and touch

Standing in the eye of the storm

To the curl of your lips
In the center of eclipse
In total darkness I, reach out and...

Standing in the eye of the storm
My eyes start to roam
To the curl of your lips
In the center of eclipse
In total darkness I reach, I reach out and touch
