“Hopeless” is Too Close to Touch’s first release since the passing of singer Keaton Pierce in 2022 and the band’s first release in nearly three years. The posthumous track features Pierce’s close friend Telle Smith of The Word Alive, completing the unfinished vocal performance.

[Verse 1: Keaton Pierce]
Sleep through the sound of the same drum
Like we're both numb to the withering away
But decay is a problem that we welcome to the home we made
Eyes are gray together, drain the color from the ashtray
On the bedside table by the bed in which we lay
[Pre-Chorus: Keaton Pierce]
Show me something
That I mean anything to you
But you say nothing
Knowing I can't admit the truth
[Chorus: Keaton Pierce]
I'm hopeless
I talk to myself but my heart won't listen
Hopeless
Begging for the help that we know won't fix it
I'm hopeless
I talk to myself but my heart won't listen
Hopeless
Begging for the help that we know won't fix it
[Verse 2: TELLE]
I'm tired of the way that I'm feeling
It's never-ending but I can't let you go
Fear for my heart, I'm not healing
And it's deceiving how alone this home's become
When I think about the memories, I cling to what we could have been
When I think about the way that you love me, you never even let me in
[Pre-Chorus: Keaton Pierce]
Show me something
That I mean anything to you
But you say nothing
Knowing I can't admit the truth
[Chorus: Keaton Pierce]
I'm hopeless
I talk to myself but my heart won't listen
Hopeless
Begging for the help that we know won't fix it
I'm hopeless
I talk to myself but my heart won't listen
Hopeless
Begging for the help that we know won't fix it
[Bridge: TELLE & Keaton Pierce]
If there's hope to hold onto
Show me something
'Cause this is when I needed you
But you say nothing
But you say nothing
Is this the end? I'm ready when
When you're ready to let me go
[Chorus: Keaton Pierce]
I'm hopeless
I talk to myself but my heart won't listen
Hopeless
Begging for the help that we know won't fix it
I'm hopeless
I talk to myself but my heart won't listen
Hopeless
Begging for the help that we know won't fix it
