Touch is about being lead on in a relationship with a friend. The singer feels like they are more than friends but after a while she doesn’t reciprocate these feelings.
[Verse 1]
Oh, I missed you and I cried
But I said that I was alright
And I know it's been a while
Since I needed a distraction
[Pre-Chorus]
’Cause I wanna do everything
That you want me to, to tell you the truth
I need to stay alive
So sad that I could die
[Chorus]
It's leading me on, every time we touch
Leading me on, every time it hurts
Feeling so lonely, 'cause it’s not enough
Missin' you only, ever since we fell in love
[Verse 2]
And I watched you do a line

[Chorus]
It's leading me on, every time we touch
Leading me on, every time it hurts
Feeling so lonely, 'cause it's not enough
Missin' you only, ever since we fell in love

When we were lyin’ in my bed that night
You were acting like a different person

I was hurt and so I took a shower
So you couldn't hear me, knowing I had to cry
Sad to know that while my heart was breaking
You were sleeping or just faking
[Chorus]
It’s leading me on, every time we touch
Leading me on, every time it hurts
Feeling so lonely, 'cause it's not enough
Missin' you only, ever since we fell in love
