Untouchable
Fearless [Platinum Edition] (2009) | Fearless (Taylor's Version) [2021]
Background and Recording
«It originally happened when Scott Borchetta, who’s the president of her label, gave her [our] CD to listen to. Then, when she was doing a TV show called 'Stripped,' he told her she had to come up with a cover. She could have chosen any cover in the world, but that’s what she chose. And we had heard from other people that she was a fan of Luna Halo, so I think it was a combination of those things. We lucked out, really. She covered the song and it sounded amazing, so from there, there were so many YouTube hits on it, and so many people watching it and doing imitations of it. That’s when the label decided that they should put it on the record.»
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Untouchable, like a distant diamond sky
I’m reaching out and I just can’t tell you why
I’m caught up in you, I’m caught up in you
Untouchable, burning brighter than the sun
And when you’re close, I feel like coming undone
[Chorus 1]
In the middle of the night, when I’m in this dream
It’s like a million little stars spelling out your name
You gotta come on, come on
Say that we’ll be together, come on, come on
Little taste of heaven
[Verse 2]
It’s half full and I won’t wait here all day
I know you’re saying that you’d be here anyway
But you’re untouchable, burning brighter than the sun
Now that you’re close, I feel like coming undone
[Chorus 2]
In the middle of the night, when I’m in this dream
It’s like a million little stars spelling out your name
You gotta come on, come on
Say that we’ll be together, come on, come on (Oh)
In the middle of the night, waking from this dream
I wanna feel you by my side, standing next to me
You gotta come on, come on,
Say that we’ll be together, come on, come on
Little taste of heaven
[Bridge]
I’m caught up in you (Oh, oh, oh)
But your untouchable, burning brighter than the sun
Now that you’re close, I feel like coming undone
In the middle of the night, when I’m in this dream
It’s like a million little stars spelling out your name
You gotta come on, come on,
Say that we’ll be together, come on, come on (Oh)
[Chorus 2]
In the middle of the night, when I’m in this dream
It’s like a million little stars spelling out your name
You gotta come on, come on
Say that we’ll be together, come on, come on
Come on
In the middle of the night, waking from this dream
I wanna feel you by my side, standing next to me
You gotta come on, come on,
Say that we’ll be together, come on, come on
Little taste of heaven
[Outro]
And in the middle of the night, when I’m in this dream
It’s like a million little stars spelling out your name
You gotta come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on (Oh, oh, oh)
Like a million little stars spelling out your name
They’re spelling out your name, oh
