A guitar heavy song about whiskey and shiny things.
Story behind the song
I started writing about a girl you want but know you can't touch. The end result doesn't keep with that theme, and I'm not really sure what the lyrics mean.

You Can't Touch

=======================================
One night I was sittin' down
A bottle of whiskey at my side
All of a sudden things were crashing around
From which I could not hide
I started to shout, shout out loud
But nobody was there to hear
Round and round, things were breakin' out
It gave me quite a scare
( Pre-Chorus )
I saw something shiny
Just outside my reach
I tried but I could not touch it
It looked so safe and inviting
If I could reach it I might be safe
I tried again but still could not touch it
Did you ever feel like you were blind
You couldn't move, your hands were tied
Somebody sittin' upon your chest
You are possessed
Things are happenin' outside of you
You couldn't control if you wanted to
You're outside and lookin' in
At a stranger within
( Chorus? )
You can look but you can't touch
Things like this cost way too much
Spend your days on better dreams
Shiny things ain't all they seem
