Sometimes When We Touch - Dan Hill

You ask me if I love you, and I choke on my reply

Id rather hurt you honestly than mislead you with a lie

And who am I to judge you on what you say or do

I'm only just beginning to see the real you

And sometimes when we touch

The honesty's too much, and I have to close my eyes and hide

I wanna hold you till I die

Till we both break down and cry

I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides

Romance and all it's strategy leaves me battling with my pride

But through the insecurity some tenderness survives

I'm just another writer, still trapped within my truths

A hesitant prize fighter, still trapped within my youth

And sometimes when we touch

The honesty's too much, and I have to close my eyes and hide

I wanna hold you till I die

Till we both break down and cry

I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides

At times I'd like to break you and drag you to your knees

At times I'd like to break through and hold you endlessly

At times I understand you, and I know how hard you've tried

I've watch while love commands you

And I've watched love pass you by

At times I think we're drifters, still searching for a friend

A brother or a sister, but then the passion flares again

And sometimes when we touch

The honesty's too much, and I have to close my eyes and hide

I wanna hold you till I die

Till we both break down and cry

I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
