She's gentle to the touch
She's everything head first
So happy to be causing troubleSometimes the pressure gets too much
And you think she's going to burst
And shatter like a Christmas bubbleI'll be there when the world
Is coming down upon her
When she's scared I'll be there
Fighting in her cornerShe cries when she's alone
For all life's little knocks
Everything is supposed to make us tougherThinking it doesn't really show
But I know how she hurts
And I can't bare to see her sufferI'll be there when the world
Is coming down upon her
When she's scared I'll be there
Fighting in her cornerI'll be there when the world
Is closing to surround her
In the air, as she falls
With my arms around herHolding on, I'm looking out
For her thin skin
Because she's everything
And I don't think she knowsShe's such a gentle touch
She's too much, a gentle touchShe likes to catch the sun
Plays with it like a ball
And never mind whatever keeps it burningSomeday she might just be the one
Whose going to save us all
If this apocalypse is comingI'll be there when the world
Is coming down upon her
When she's scared I'll be there
Fighting in her cornerI'll be there when the world
Is closing to surround her
In the air as she falls
With my arms around herHolding on, I'm looking out
For her thin skin
Because she's everything
But I don't think she knowsI don't think she knows
I don't think she knows
(She's such a gentle touch)
I don't think she knows
(she's too much, a gentle touch)
