lyrics

The first step of the stairs is always going to be steep.
It’s not my first rodeo, though. Save me the speech, I know
when I step into the arena with the big bad bull
and grab it by the horns, that I can never never let go.

I was touched.
I was touched.
I was touched.

Leave the diamond in the mine, and leave the ring in the box.
Leave the flowers in the ground, and leave the keys in the lock.
That search is all for naught if you’re not looking for love.
You will never fly as high if you break the wing of the dove.

I was touched.
I was touched.
I was touched.

I know I’m not the first and probably won’t be the last,
but every time I think I’ve closed my tab with the past
I realize like most of us I am of two minds and every
time I tell the truth for one for the other I lie.

I was touched.
I was touched.
I was touched.

The night was made of silver, and the days made of gold
when the Devil finished telling it God alone got the joke.
Everything that would come after was a slow unraveling:
a hundred ways to run and hide by drugs or by traveling.

I was touched.
I was touched.
I was touched.

I partied with the dead and fell asleep in their graves.
Everyone who tried to wake me thought I couldn’t be saved.
With lipstick on my teeth, I just kept kissing the blade
and walked out empty handed. What a price I had paid.

I was touched.
I was touched.
I was touched.

Some people are a house that takes a second to get warm,
and for some of us to find our ways inside from the storm. How many
people here feel comfortable in their own skin?
Or would you rather be taking someone else’s life for a spin?

I was touched.
I was touched.
I was touched.
