Untouchable Lyrics

No one can take the place of you
Nobody in the world touches me like you do
And I know
Yes I know you're untouchable

No one knows me like you do
Nobody comprehends the pain I'm going through
Except you
But I know you're untouchable
I accept you're untouchable

You never wanted what I always needed
And I always needed a door
Trapped in a room full of wonderful colours
You left because you needed more

And we knew from the start
We were jumping the gun
I never thought that I'd be the one
Trapped in a room full of wonderful colours
Just me
It's not nearly as bright
I'm afraid of the dark
It's all turning black
I can't see

Leave me here
I wanna be untouchable
I close the door behind you
Now I'm untouchable, too.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

wow, i thought there'd be more comments here.. i love the murmurs and this song is great!! i think the meanings pretty straighforward.. ah the common feeling of wanting someone you can't have, someone 'untouchable' i know that feeling.. i can relate to this song well.. "No-one can take the place of you" they seem pretty smitten and feel like that persons the only one that understand them.. great song!

Their CDs are so hard to find these days. Everything's just gone downhill in ten years. It's a shame. The Murmurs are great. Fantastic song.
