Past midnight and my phone lights up,
Your name again and I know what's up.
I find you waiting beneath the lamps,
Red eyes hidden in your sleeves and hands.
We park where the swings don't make a sound,
Drop the tailgate, feet off the ground.
You talk about another love gone wrong,
And I say you'll be alright before too long.
Then you give me that look I know by heart,
Like you'll let me in, then pull apart.
I keep showing up,
Knowing what this is.
A little too close,
Never mine to kiss.
You're so damn untouchable,
I can see you, I can feel you,
But I can't hold you anymore.
You're so damn untouchable,
You pull me close, then drift away.
I know how your heart aches.
Oh-oh, you're so damn untouchable,
Close enough to haunt my dreams.
Oh-oh, you're so damn untouchable,
Untouchable for me.
A few months pass and you're back in town,
Hop in my truck with the windows down.
You smile and say, "I've been seeing this girl,"
Like you're handing me another world.
You say, "She laughs kinda like you do,
Dark eyes and a hoodie too.
She listens when my mind runs wild."
I just look ahead and force a smile.
The stoplight paints your face in red,
You keep talking while I nod my head.
She gets to hold the pieces I know,
And you don't even know you broke me slow.
I keep showing up,
Even when it hurts.
Loving you in silence
Is the sweetest kind of curse.
You're so damn untouchable,
I can see you, I can feel you,
But I can't hold you anymore.
You're so damn untouchable,
You pull me close, then drift away.
I know how your heart aches.
Oh-oh, you're so damn untouchable,
Close enough to haunt my dreams.
Oh-oh, you're so damn untouchable,
Untouchable for me.
Every time you come back into town,
Your name lights up and my walls come down.
I hate that I still need that sound,
But you're the only ghost I've never put down.
You've got a new life, a hand to hold,
Yet you still text me when nights get cold.
And every buzz cuts deep somehow,
But God, I'm grateful you're texting now.
You're so damn untouchable,
I can see you, I can feel you,
But I can't hold you anymore.
You're so damn untouchable,
You pull me close, then drift away.
I know how your heart aches.
Oh-oh, you're so damn untouchable,
Close enough to haunt my dreams.
Oh-oh, you're so damn untouchable,
Untouchable for me.
**Outro**
Oooh… untouchable…
Oooh… you're still untouchable…
Past midnight and my phone lights up...
I stare at your name for a while.
And I'd still text back.
