Just A Touch

Originally performed by Trey Anastasio

I'm smiling
(But I don't know how to laugh)
I'm half-baked
(But I've forgotten which half)
I'm wrapped up
(But all I have is loose ends)
I'm friendly
(But I can't find my friends)
I'm laughing
(When I don't know how to smile)
I'm fraying
(When I've been here for a while)
I'm drifting
('Cause I don't know where to go)
I'm friendly
(But my friends will never know)

My phone runs on diesel
My car runs on lies
My home sits on asphalt
Between railroad ties
From out of the darkness
You reach out your hand
In silence
I thought that I'd understand

Perhaps just a touch
Might be enough
Perhaps if you heard
Just the right word
Perhaps just a touch
Might be enough
repeat x2

I'm caught up
(In all the things that I've learned)
I'm all wet
(But still afraid of being burned)
I'm smiling
(But I don't know how to laugh)
I'm half-baked
(But I've forgotten what half)

My phone runs on diesel
My car runs on lies
My home sits on asphalt
Between railroad ties
From out of the darkness
You reach out your hand
In silence
I thought that I'd understand

Perhaps just a touch
Might be enough
Perhaps if you heard
Just the right word
Perhaps just a touch
Might be enough
repeat x3

My phone runs on diesel
My car runs on lies
My home sits on asphalt
Between railroad ties
From out of the darkness
You reach out your hand
In silence
You thought that I'd understand

(My phone runs on diesel)
(My car runs on lies)
…
But I've forgotten which half
(My phone runs on diesel)
(My car runs on lies)
I'm half-baked
But I've forgotten which half
(My phone runs on diesel)
(My car runs on lies)
I'm half-baked
But I've forgotten which half
(My phone runs on diesel)
(My car runs on lies)
I'm half-baked
But I've forgotten which half

Science!
(Science!)
