You say you’re all alone
With visions all your own
The things you feel nobody feels the same
But you know me
You know what I’ve been through

And everything that touches me
And everything that touches me
Everything that touches me
Touches you

Friends along the road
May lighten up your load
By sayin’ what they think you really want to hear
But I’ll only tell you
What I feel is true

And everything that touches me
Everything that touches me
And everything that touches me
Touches you

Share, ’cause I can’t take you there
Unless I know a part of what you’re thinking
Care, ’cause it’s only fair
Darlin’ can’t you feel my heart is breaking
My heart is breaking

Everything that touches me
Everything that touches me
Everything that touches me
Touches you…
