Analysis of Everything you touched
I want to be everything you touched
The crumbling walls you lean upon
The things you hold tightly on to
The people you brush past without remorse
The embers of stick you prod into the fire
The past loves you called liars
I want to be the grass on which you run
The dance floor you spin upon
The remote controls you explore
The pets and children you adore
I want to be the pillow that catches your dreams
And the windows from which you long to break free
To be the clothes that you choose so carefully
Or the food that moves you so happily
I want to be everything you touch
And for you to love me so so much
