Touch
Truitt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Knowing when I wake up,
I'd hear from you,
I'd hear from you,
I don't know when we stopped,
I would have never thought,
It'd start this soon,
It happen so soon,
I just need some closure(Closesure),
Cause I'm not getting over(Over),
I miss the conversations(With you, with you),
I miss the conversations(With you),
We're no good at small talk,
You can't keep pretending it's all my fault,
Cause you got nothing to say,
Excuse is always the same,
It's not that we don't know how, how,
But we don't keep in touch now,
But we don't keep in touch now,
I used to know about,
Didn't have to figure out,
Come straight from you,
Now it's just rumors,
Did we both just forget,
Or did we stop trying?
We got use to,
Ending talks sooner,
I miss the conversations(With you, with you),
I miss the conversations(With you),
We're no good at small talk,
You can't keep pretending it's all my fault,
Cause you got nothing to say,
Excuse is always the same,
It's not that we don't know how, how,
But we don't keep in touch now,
But we don't keep in touch now
(We don't keep in, we don't keep in touch now),
We don't keep in touch now,
Remember how it felt to touch,
But now it's not enough,
The remnants of us(Of us),
And now we second guess,
Regret the way we left,
I feel you less and less,
We're no good at small talk,
You can't keep pretending it's all my fault,
Cause you got nothing to say,
Excuse is always the same,
It's not that we don't know how, how,
But we don't keep in touch now,
(We don't keep in, we don't keep in touch now),
But we don't keep in touch now,
(We don't keep in, we don't keep in touch now),
We don't keep in touch now.
The song "Touch" by Truitt is a reflection on a past relationship and the lack of communication between two people who were once very close. The opening lines express the longing to hear from the other person upon waking up, and the subsequent disappointment when no message is received. The lyrics suggest that the two parties have grown distant, and the singer is struggling to come to terms with the loss of the connection they once had. The chorus repeats the sentiment that the singer misses the conversations they used to have with their former partner, and that they struggle with their inability to communicate in the present.
The second verse delves further into the difficulties the couple faces in communicating. They are "no good at small talk," and the excuses for not speaking are "always the same." This implies that there is some ongoing tension or issue that prevents them from speaking in a meaningful way. Despite this, the singer acknowledges that it is not that they don't know how to communicate, but rather that they simply don't keep in touch anymore. In the final lines, the singer laments the loss of physical touch and the way that their relationship has deteriorated to a point of regret and second-guessing.
Overall, "Touch" is a powerful reflection on the importance of communication in any relationship. The song highlights the ease with which connections can be lost, even with people we care for deeply, and the pain that comes with that loss. It serves as a reminder that relationships take work, and that actively maintaining open lines of communication is essential to keeping them healthy and strong.
