I thought a lot about it and for me it's very clear. There is a whole story in this song !
It is about an openly gay man "I've had enough 20 years" who sings about his love interest who isn't out yet. That LI is not comfortable with his sexuality and therefor he doesn't want to be in an emotional relationship "blow me off as history" I guess, LI thinks that being gay isn't OK "you think you are better"
The singer wants to convince him that being queer is wonderful but LI can't "let it go". Still singer can't help himself either by leaving him. He needs to be with him. "When I can't seem to leave you alone". There "touching me touching you" means sexual touching, which tells me that they still are engaged in a sexual relationship.
Singer would love to be a member of his family in order to tell him that it was totally OK to love the same sex although he didn't know how they would react "never make you run for cover - even if they want us to". In this case "touches you" means emotionally! Nothing creepy at all!
Hehey!
