Two That Touch

TWO THAT TOUCH - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Where in the world do we begin?

When the walls that surround us start closing in 

I didn't mean to write this story but, now that it's done

We got to get it together and turn two into one 

I've cried out for love for so many nights 

In the heart of the city I have danced under the neon lights

Now my shadow is cast up against the gun 

Love makes me want to stay

Love makes me want to run 

Two that touch and fall in love

Can't get enough and then push comes to shove

Two that touch will stand and face the heat

As strangers with loving eyes hide in the streets 

They're after you and me

Where in my life did it all go so wrong?

It's like a knife at my back or a demon in the fog 

We scratch and bite to keep from a burning hell 

And then there's no one to talk to or anybody to tell 

I've cried out for mercy but, it always goes in vain 

The bullet's coming after me

Caught up in the game

I feel myself sinking so I reach out for you

Now look at what I've done

You're sinking too

Two that touch and fall in love

Can't get enough and then push comes to shove

Two that touch will stand and face the heat

As strangers with loving eyes hide in the streets

They're after you and me 

I might be dreaming this

I might be out of my mind 

I might be drowning inside your kiss

It wouldn't be the first time

I might be dangerous or

I might be nothing but a lie

I might be something of a male whore

It wouldn't be the first time 

I just wanna bake my heart in the oven of your love

I just wanna break apart from everything I've ever done

I'm tired of these one night stands 

I need a woman 

Not a girl

I need a woman

Two that touch and fall in love

Can't get enough and then push comes to shove

Two that touch will stand and face the heat

As strangers with loving eyes hide in the streets

They're after you and me
