It's been so long since I've touched
So long since I wanted
Then you made me laugh
And my heart opened

I want you to find me charming and wise
I just want you to find me somewhere here inside
I barely know you, we've been sort of friends
So what if I called you and called you again
What would I tell you, where would I begin?

Please forgive me
If I don't know what to do
It's an old fire, this familiar desire
But my skin is painfully new

There's a light in my window, it shines all night long
In the morning my coffee is sweet but it's strong
I carefully reach out from behind these walls
I'll take a deep breath and give you a call
Hello, how are you, not much at all

Please forgive me
If I don't know what to do
It's an old fire, this familiar desire
But my skin is painfully new

Lost in this hole that has ripped through my soul
I unlock this secret inside
What should I think, I've had too much to drink
As my mind and my body collide

Please forgive me
If I don't know what to do
It's an old, old fire, this familiar desire
And my skin is painfully new

It's been so long since I've touched
It's been so long since I wanted
Then you made me laugh
And my heart opened
