I Hate It When You Touch Me - Live Strings Version

Watch me twist and turn again
Like a handshake between friends
Watch my eyelids flutter and fall
Flutter and fall

Am I staying here tonight?
If I'm honest, that's the only part I like
The thought of someone sleeping next to me
Mandatory intimacy

But I hate it when you touch me
Your fingers feel so greedy
And I hate the way they fumble on my skin
So I'll close my eyes and hope that
I can live inside a moment
Where I'm someone else
With someone I could grow to like

Tell me I am like a dream
The sweetest, smallest girl you've ever seen
And I am just more beautiful 'cause I don't even know it
But you swear you'll make me know it

But I hate it when you touch me
Your fingers feel so greedy
And I hate the way they fumble on my skin
So I'll close my eyes and hope that
I can live inside a moment
Where I'm someone else
With someone I could grow to like

Tell me you will never be
As content, or happy as you are with me
And I'll say I feel the same
I can't even say your name

Or look at your face while it's hidden by the dark
I'll map the contours of your face
Touch my lips to every place
But God forbid I look you in the eyes

'Cause I hate it when you touch me
Your fingers feel so greedy
And I hate the way they fumble on my skin
So I'll close my eyes and hope that
I can live inside a moment
Where I'm someone else
With someone I could grow
