Untouchable like a distant diamond sky
I'm reachin' out and I just can't tell you why
I'm caught up in you, I'm caught up in you
[Pre-Chorus]
Untouchable, burning brighter than the sun
And when you're close, I feel like comin' undone
[Chorus]
In the middle of the night, when I'm in this dream
It's like a million little stars spellin' out your name
You gotta come on, come on, say that we'll be together
Come on, come on, little taste of Heaven
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh
[Verse 2]
It's half full and I won't wait here all day
I know you're sayin' that you'd be here anyway
[Pre-Chorus]
But you're untouchable, burnin' brighter than the sun
And now that you're close, I feel like comin' undone
In the middle of the night, when I'm in this dream
It's like a million little stars spellin' 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, wakin' from this dream
I wanna feel you by my side, standin' next to me
You gotta come on, come on, say that we'll be together
Come on, come on, little taste of Heaven
[Post-Chorus]
I'm caught up in you
Oh, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
But you're untouchable, burnin' brighter than the sun
Now that you're close, I feel like comin' undone
[Chorus]
In the middle of the night, when I'm in this dream
It's like a million little stars spellin' 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, when I'm in this dream
It's like a million little stars spellin' 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, wakin' from this dream
I wanna feel you by my side, standin' 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
[Chorus]
And in the middle of the night, when I'm in this dream
It's like a million little stars spellin' out your name
You gotta come on, come on, oh
Come on, come on, come on, come on
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Outro]
It's like a million little stars spellin' out your name
Spellin' out your name, oh
About
“Untouchable (Taylor’s Version)”is the fifteenth track from Swift’s first re-recorded album, Fearless (Taylor’s Version).
Lyrically, the song finds Swift wishing for her lover to come to me for them to be together, however, for some reason, they are not succeeding.
Swift also covered, changed a few lyrics and turned the rock song of the same name from a 1999 rock band, Luna Halo, into a slow dreamy country ballad.

On an interview for Social Butterflies, they said:
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.
She changed the verse [melody] quite a bit. The chorus [melody] is still pretty true to what it was. When I first heard it, it caught me off guard because I didn’t even recognize the melody of the verse and some of the arrangement. But she’s one of, if not the biggest artist in the world right now, and when she wants to change a little thing about your song, I’m fine with it, you know?
