It could spell my near defeat 

You could find it's what you need
And tears will fall and oceans will rise
I feel the fear and I know I'm alive
And you can touch me I won't hide
you can touch me I won't die

my condition is hard to define
I'm thin and pale and I need to unwind
I see no future from where I stand
For the present I am in your hand
And you can touch me I won't hide
you can touch me I won't die

and tears will fall and oceans will rise
I feel the fear and I know I'm alive
We're only passing through
And you can touch me I won't hide
you can touch me I won't die
you can touch me I won't die
