The Touch Of A Screen
Wondering why it’s this hard to connect
It’s not like the old days when we were the best
But we’re not the only ones
Everyone I ever met moved on
Am I old fashioned to think there’s a chance
Someone might book a reunion dance?
I’d wear my best suit
But maybe that look in your eye has gone
Still you don’t feel anything
Now that you’re touching everything
You heard it on TV
So that’s what you think
You come to life at the touch of a screen
I told you I suffered a coma inside
With my mouth shut I shouted words we tried to hide
And all the time you thought I was fine.
I had forgot myself.
Up on the billboard a hundred feet tall
Slogans appear about sharing it all
Head down and buried in nothing much
I didn’t hear your call
Still you don’t feel anything
Now that you’re touching everything
You heard it on TV
So that’s what you think
You come to life at the touch of a screen
Come to life for me
