Losing Touch

Indigo Girls · Other Songs - Indigo Girls

Here I am

Shooting for the sky

You say you've settled in

Yeah well I guess that's good for you

But I'm still trying to tear myself free

Well I could take it or leave it

You know that's what I've said to myself

But then I start to tremble

And I'm lost to a powerless cause



I'm losing touch

Sometimes my memories

They just seem to fade fast away

I've been losing too much

Losing the feel for the dreams I once thought I had

Sometimes I feel like they're all circling around

They keep calling to me and I keep falling down

I'd rather be alone and lonely lying on the ground

Than in those grips again



They're so cruel

Taught me to fly

Then they stole my sky

Taught me to love

Then they broke me down

Till there was nothing left but emptiness

And don't you ever feel like they're all circling around

They keep calling to me and I keep falling down

I'd rather be alone and lonely lying on that ground

Than in those grips again



Well I could take it I could leave it you know hah

That's what I've said to myself

I've been down there so many times you know

And it hurts like nothing else

Cause I'm losing touch

I've been slipping away

I've been losing too much
