Ever since I was able to listen to English songs, I was totally captivated by this song.
At first, its enticing melody, and then its intriguing lyrics
Encompassing the vicious conflicts of a burning desire to empathize and at the same time, to crush and ruin that feeling, it is a perfect description of a kind of physical yearning, a tangled kind of 'love' that you cant affix it to any common notion of 'love', something that you cant completely define, possess or control it.
It touches me deep.
It is not exactly emotional or sensual like any commercial, light-hearted movie of love.
It is heartbreaking in its own quiet, intense and profound way.
Something much more real and closed to human's selfish nature
My tightened heart beats fast even now, when I'm trying to define it with my clumsy words.
It feels like as you are trying to seek and reach for warmth throughout the abyss of cold and harshness
...
I'm not even sure why I'm writing it now on Friday at 5am, beginning of another busy day of work ahead
It just comes across and I have the urge to practice using ENglish haha
Anyway, I'm quite sure that many went through the above complicated stages of ...well, 'physical yearning' or else, this song wouldnt have become a hit then...
Just a moment to share, to our aching hearts =.=
Sometimes When We Touch"
You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning to see the real you
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
Romance and all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
Still trapped within my youth
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
At times I'd like to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly
At times I understand you
And I know how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by
At times I think we're drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning to see the real you
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
Romance and all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
Still trapped within my youth
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
At times I'd like to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly
At times I understand you
And I know how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by
At times I think we're drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
