The Chase
too close to touch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A thought of what could be, disintegrates and gets the best of me
And I know we both know how, these types of things always go down
But if I could find you know, we could remember what it′s like to feel
And if we slow this down, and take things slower this time
Maybe find the time between the lines, between the lines
Pick me up just one time
Don't let me fall, don′t let me fall, out of your hands
If you make me a part of your plan
Pick me up just one time
Don't let me fall, out of your hands
Well, I won't let you
The mind breaks down, the delicate design
Of where we′ve been, and what we′ve left behind
And if we slow this down, and take things slower this time
Maybe find the time between the lines, between the lines
If you make me a part of your plan
Pick me up just one time
Don't let me fall, don′t let me fall, out of your hands
If you make me a part of your plan
Pick me up just one time
Don't let me fall, out of your hands
Well, I won′t let you
Give me a chance to make a move, whats left to lose
So much more that I want to prove, if I could get to you
A recurring dream, that stings into my memory
If you make me a part of your plan
Pick me up just one time
Don't let me fall, don′t let me fall, out of your hands
If you make me a part of your plan
Pick me up just one time
Don't let me fall, out of your hands
Well, I won't let you

A recurring dream that stings into my memory
A dream that keeps coming back to me and hurts me every time I think of it
A thought of what could be, disintegrates and gets the best of me
Thinking about the possibilities that could have been but didn't happen and it's causing me to feel overwhelmed
And I know we both know how, these types of things always go down
Both of us know how these situations usually end up
But if I could find you know, we could remember what it's like to feel
If I could find you now, we could remember the feeling we had before
And if we slow this down, and take things slower this time
If we slow down the situation and take things at a steadier pace this time around
Maybe find the time between the lines, between the lines
Perhaps we can find what we're missing if we look closer and more thoroughly
If you make me a part of your plan
If you include me in your plans
Pick me up just one time
Help me out once and lift me up
Don't let me fall, don't let me fall, out of your hands
Don't let me down or let me slip away from you
Well, I won't let you
I won't let you down either
The mind breaks down, the delicate design
The mind is failing and struggling with the intricate plan
Of where we've been, and what we've left behind
Of the places we've been and the things we've left behind in the past
Give me a chance to make a move, what's left to lose
Give me a chance to try and make a difference, there's not much else to lose anyway
So much more that I want to prove, if I could get to you
There's still so many things I want to show you, if only I could reach you

Kellin will always be the Elvis of our lifetime. It's disappointing that there are people missing out on him. Truly missing out.
@RDCeciliaK
This song lead me to this AWESOME band because of my obsession with Kellin. Thanks Youtube mix for leading me to Too Close To Touch! <3
@oceanfrontstudios4177
Got that 'There For Tomorrow' feel about this track. Love it.
@isabellaflynn4848
Keaton and Kellin sound great together. It would be awesome for both bands to tour together (I can only hope)
@viccenzogaio7443
Emarosa instrumental + Hands like houses + their stuff. Great album
@Icemanbacon
Oh shit yeah. Kellin's verse from "Once upon a time in mexico." That's the song that had me following these guys from the beginning.
@simonnecka666
