I heard your touch

Written during April 2002.

lyrics

between these walls there is a sound (oh, it fills the air)
inhaling deep to touch the ground (oh, it's everywhere)
I age so fast I wasn't young (I can't slow it down)
all of the things I haven't done (need to do them now)

we hear with our ears, but I'm sure that I heard your touch
the back of my neck heard it all the way down my spine
or maybe it was the way that I feel when the sun comes down on me as hard as it can

you let me in and kiss my lips (calm my shaking hands)
forgot to eat or nervousness (I don't understand)
maybe the future got too close (minutes turn to years)
lost time collecting rays of hope (all for you, my dear)

we hear with our ears, but I'm sure that I heard your touch
the back of my neck heard it all the way down my spine
we hear with our ears, but I'm sure that I heard your lust
the skin on my chest heard it all the way through my lungs

or maybe it was the way that I feel when you're close to me
or maybe it was the way that I feel when the sun comes down on me as hard as it can
