"The song is basically a simple love song. But on a deeper level, I think it's about trying to get behind someone's psychic armour; a feeling that there's something hidden from view and the lover wants to find it. Kind of a sexual song without the sex. It's also about trying to make any human contact at all."

Silver moon shining through the lace
Light streaming through the window
So close I can see your face
But your heart's in the shadow
How long do I have to wait
Nothing we do's gonna make it safe
My heart just cries inside
To see love go to wasteI want to touch you
Do the dance that lovers do
Let the fire burn right through
I want to touch you I want to touch youTime drags and I watch the clock
Just thinking about you
Feel Your breath and I hear your walk
Oh baby I'm a crazy fool
Feeling weak and feeling strong
First you're here and then you're gone
You stay just out of reach
But I know where you belongI want to touch you...
Long nights filling up with pain
I want something I never had
You've got your love back
Behind the chain
Oh baby I want you so badI want to touch you...
