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

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

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

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

In the middle of the night
Wakin' 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

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
I'm caught
Up in you
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

It's 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, oh

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
We can form 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

    My Interpretation:I don't think this song is necessarily only about wanting be with someone you can't have but more of just wanting someone in general. For me, it's about this beyond perfect guy that used to be 'untouchable' (I've liked him since we were in 4th grade) and everyone has always known we should be together. I love the part when she says, "In the middle of the night, we could form 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.." because it's like how I've always waited for him to see how great we could be, and he's finally starting to realize it and now finally "we'll be together".:)

    General Comment:In my opinion, this song is about falling hard for someone you know in reality you can have. You try to forget about them and move on, but you always get caught up in him and fall even harder. I can defiently relate. Maybe it's about the same person as "Superstar", seeing that they are both sort of about the same thing? Regardless, it's a great song. Oerfect for slow-dancing. I haven't heard the original, but I LOVE Taylor's version, and she always does exceptional covers.

    General Comment:This song helped me alot. My best friend asked me why i liked this one guy and i couldnt explain to her why. i still cant if im honest! But this song says it all. she doesnt know why she has fallen for him and cant explain why. its a mystery to her let alone everyone else yet she still dreams of him and wants him to be hers. just shows that not only one person feels like this

    General Comment:I love both versions of this song; Taylor Swift's and Luna Halo's. They're just completely different I can't say which is better. However, it was originally Luna Halo's song and Taylor played it live for a Raw & Real stripped concert. Then she put it on the re-release version of her album Fearless: Platinum Edition. Taylor said she heard the song on a music-playing TV show and loved it and thought she could make her own version out of it. Lol I only know all this because I loved this song wayyyyy before it came out on Fearless Platinum because I heard it a long time ago on YouTube when she played it live as a stripped performance:)

    General Comment:For me this song is about wanting someone who you want to believe you can have but in reality you can't.
    It's about wanting someone that you know you can't have but you're caught up in them and just don't know why.
    When they are close to you, you feel anxious or kinda getting butterflies?
    You dream about this person and want them to say they want to be with you but in reality, they don't.
    Basically, it's about wanted someone, wanting to believe they want to be with you too but know they don't.

    General Comment:this song works for my situation. i agree with shastt but i relate to it a different way.... i see it as you have a boyfriend that you really like. then all of the sudden.... this PERFECT boy comes along. you just want eachother so badly that it's hard to stay away and be loyal to your man.... yet you know that you just can't cheat. you two feel perfect for eachother, yet it's so complicated with boyfriends and girlfriends in the way..... but you still like your boyfriend of 6 months too. you can't break up with him for the untouchable guy..... but you don't know if you'll ever be truly satisfied without him.... :/

    General Comment:this song is really sad. i think it's about someone who is in love with one of her closest friends who doesn't think of her like that and is maybe dating somebody else. :(

    General Comment:You know how sometimes you'll wake up from a dream with a song stuck in your head? One that you haven't heard in a while, and your brain just decided to play it? well, I had heard this song on Pandora radio just once, and five weeks later, I woke up with it playing in my head. And the dream I had before it was about my true love (I dream about him a lot. I haven't met him yet, and I don't know who he is, all I know is that I dream about him a lot). And then it was still dark outside when I woke up, and when I looked over to the window, the nieghbor's porchlight was shining through my blinds like I guess stars would. Weird....
