Lyrics of Touchy Subject by Peach PRC

Verse

I have this dream, one recurring theme that I try to ignore

A decade away, we meet in a grocery store (ah)

And you look the same, with just a few greys

A blonde little girl who tugs on your shirt

And she looks nothing like me (ah)

Pre-chorus

Guess it′s been a while, and she has your smile

And I don't look back after I turn the aisle

I′m stood by the parking when I taste my heartbeat

And drop to my knees and wake up

Chorus

I couldn't wish congratulations

'Cause I choke on the words when I say ′em

I′m afraid it's not a dream

Now it′s so bittersweet

'Cause I′m happy we met, but I'm glad she was next

Now I′m nothing but a touchy subject

It's for the best (ah, ah)

Verse

I have this fear, the off-and-on years would slow and finally end

And you've settled down, and now it′s permanent (ah)

And now you don′t call or miss me at all

I've finally patched up the holes in the wall

I guess it′s nothing really (ah)

Pre-chorus

'Cause it′s been a while, and gold's not my style

But she pulls it off ′cause I'm not versatile

I'm stood by the garden ′til death do you part, and

I can′t speak, so I hold my peace

Chorus

I couldn't wish congratulations

′Cause I choke on the words when I say 'em

I′m afraid it's not a dream

Now it′s so bittersweet

'Cause I'm happy we met, but I′m glad she was next

Now I′m nothing but a touchy subject

It's for the best (ah, ah)

Bridge

A white baby gate fixed in my hallway

Stays haunting the house with the angels we made

It wasn′t our time, at least, wasn't mine

But if souls return, then tell them I said hi

Chorus

I couldn′t wish congratulations

'Cause I choke on the words when I say ′em

I'm afraid it's not a dream

Now it′s so bittersweet

′Cause I'm happy we met, but I′m glad she was next

Now I'm nothing but a touchy subject

It′s for the best (ah, ah)

Outro

I'm happy we met, but I′m glad she was next

Now I'm nothing but a touchy subject

It's for the best
