[Intro | synth drone, bright and shimmering, a single, clean guitar strum, then a drum kick that pops like a champagne cork.] [Verse 1 – upbeat, breathless, grinning through the words] I used to flinch at the thought of it Kept my hands to myself, kept my heart on a shelf Thought touch was something you earned Something you paid for in pieces of yourself Then you showed up with your open palms And nothing to prove, nothing to ask Just— here, if you want it And fuck, I wanted it [Pre-Chorus] I didn’t know my skin could feel like this Like it was made for this Like it was waiting for you [Chorus – full band, driving, joyful] Touch me like I’m already home Like you’ve been looking for me your whole life Touch me like it’s not a question Like the answer was always yes Touch — and I’m not scared anymore Touch — and I’m so fucking glad I waited For this, for you, for the way your hands Make me feel like I was always meant to be touched [Backing vocals – Mira soft, Ess rough, bright and bouncing] (“Touch… meant to be touched…”) [Verse 2 – faster, giddy] I spent years building walls Telling myself they were protection But you just knocked like you already knew There was a door underneath all that architecture And now I want your hands everywhere In my hair, on my back, on the small of my spine I want your thumb tracing the scar I used to hide Now it’s just— mine And you’re not afraid of it You’re just here [Pre-Chorus] I didn’t know my body could feel like this Like something to celebrate Like something you wanted to hold [Chorus] Touch me like I’m already home Like you’ve been looking for me your whole life Touch me like it’s not a question Like the answer was always yes Touch — and I’m not scared anymore Touch — and I’m so fucking glad I waited For this, for you, for the way your hands Make me feel like I was always meant to be touched [Backing vocals – Mira soft, Ess rough] (“Touch… meant to be touched…”) [Bridge – drums drop to half-time, synth brightens, voice warm and open] I used to think touch was a risk Something I’d pay for later But you hold me like it’s a gift And you’re the one who’s grateful I don’t know how you do it How you make my skin feel like a yes When it spent so long being a maybe Fuck — I love it I love this I love— [Final Chorus – backing harmonies thicken, full lift, euphoric] Touch me like I’m already home Like you’ve been looking for me your whole life Touch me like it’s not a question Like the answer was always yes Touch — and I’m not scared anymore Touch — and I’m so fucking glad I waited For this, for you, for the way your hands Make me feel like I was always meant to be touched Always meant to be touched Always meant to be— Fuck, I’m so happy [Backing vocals – Mira and Ess layered, harmonies swelling, joyful] (“Touch… always meant to be… so happy…”) [Outro | synth bright, drum kick steady, close-mic, breathless and laughing] Touch me again. I dare you. I fucking dare you. [static crackle like a smile, then fade to silence.]
