Sleeping At Last

Touch Lyrics



When will I feel this

As vivid as it truly is,

Fall in love in a single touch,

And fall apart when it hurts too much?



Can we skip past near-death clichés

Where my heart restarts, as my life replays?

All I want is to flip a switch

Before something breaks that cannot be fixed.



I know, I know - the sirens sound

Just before the walls come down.

Pain is a well-intentioned weatherman

Predicting God as best he can,

But God I want to feel again.



Rain or shine, I don't feel a thing,

Just some information upon my skin.

I miss the subtle aches when the weather changed,

The barometric pressure we always blamed.



All I want is to flip a switch

Before something breaks that cannot be fixed.



Invisible machinery,

These moving parts inside of me

Well, they've been shutting down for quite some time,

Leaving only rust behind.



Well I know, I know - the sirens sound

Just before the walls come down.

Pain is a well-intentioned weatherman

Predicting God as best he can,

But God I want to feel again,

Oh God I want to feel again.



Down my arms, a thousand satellites

Suddenly discover signs of life.
