Sometimes When We Touch

對這首老歌並不陌生, 但好像從來沒有去細讀歌詞, 一直以為它只是一首"單純的情歌" - Sometimes when we touch.....總覺得歌名充滿了一種"親密"又"甜絲絲"的感覺。今日偶然看到朋友在facebook上的連結 - Olivia Ong 的重新演繹, 她甜美的歌聲使我放下工作, 靜靜的望著電腦屏幕, 一直哼著...........

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 'til
The fear in me subsides

Romance and all it's strategies
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 'til
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 'til
The fear in me subsides

原來從頭到尾都是自己的一廂情願, 竟然將一首寫"內心翻覆"的情歌, 當成一首"情意綿綿"的情歌。

看到歌詞, 我想起你, 這是你想說的話嗎? 或是我想太多?

此刻, 我只想親口跟你說 "I wanna hold you 'til the fear in YOU subsides".........想你!
