And since your distance
You've drawn away the barriers down
At my insistence
You put yourself all over the town
These acts of charity
Attempted balance, bouldering fires
Led to a real clarity
An effort to pursue your desires
It backfires
Reach out and touch me
Hold me close, don't leave
Leave me tonight
Reach out and touch me
The flame of hope for you
Still burns bright
The lure of strangers
Flashing by impassioned sea
Just rearrange it
The feelings that you once had for me
High in the sky
The reality
A state that I cannot recommend
You meant so much to me
In reality you're only a friend
The end
Oh, oh, oh
Reach out and touch me
Hold me close, don't leave me tonight
Reach out and touch me
The flame of hope for you
Still burns bright
Reach out and touch me
Hold me close, don't leave me tonight
Reach out and touch me
The flame of hope for you
Still burns
Reach out and touch me
The rhyme and the reason
But this change in my circumstances
Appears to be nothing more than pride
It's a foregone conclusion
In front of me
You're the loser
I've got nothing left to hide
Reach out and touch me
Hold me close, don't leave me tonight
Reach out and touch me
The flame I hold for you still burns bright
Reach out and touch me
Hold me close, don't leave me tonight
Reach out and touch me
The flame I hold for you still burns bright
Reach out and touch me
Hold me close, don't leave me tonight
Reach out and touch me
The flame I hold for you still burns bright
