Description
From Chapter 32, “Soul to Soul,” of It’s Impossible by J H McIntosh — Act II: Soul to Soul.
On some level Belle felt it to as reflected in her words: "The air stood still, the moment knew, something in me woke in you." This song is about a quiet, heartfelt space where connection transcends the ordinary and touches something deeper within. It captures a moment of unexpected recognition and soulful awakening. Listening to it feels like a small but profound reminder that some encounters carry a truth that lingers softly, encouraging openness and a renewed faith in the subtle power of human connection. It’s a gentle embrace for anyone seeking sincerity and hope.
Lyrics
I didn’t mean to cross that line,
Just help your hands keep up with time.
One button, one breath, one touch that’s all,
Then everything moved soul to soul.
Your collar button, nothing more,
I’ve helped others that way before.
But when my fingers brushed your skin,
The room fell out, the world fell in.
It wasn’t heat, it wasn’t flame,
It wasn’t need I knew by name.
The air stood still, the moment knew,
Something in me woke in you.
And yes, the way you looked at me,
Like I was light you couldn’t flee.
Not hunger, not want, not some control,
Just your soul seeking my soul.
Soul to soul, I felt it too,
Something in me answering you.
Soul to soul, no touch could explain,
No borrowed fire, no passing flame.
Soul to soul, and now I know,
Some things are felt before they show.
I felt you shift beneath my hand,
Like something broke you’d long withstand.
You pulled away like you couldn’t breathe,
And still, some part of you stayed with me.
We don’t make sense, they all say,
I’ve used those words myself to stay away.
But sometimes it feels like we were drawn
From the same first light before the dawn.
Like God once traced one hidden line,
Then placed your soul close beside mine.
I’ve spent so long refusing to see,
Now how do I deny that thread between you and me.
Soul to soul, I felt it too,
Something in me answering you.
Soul to soul, no touch could explain,
No borrowed fire, no passing flame.
Soul to soul, beneath my control,
Our souls pressed softly soul to soul.
If this were lust, I’d let it pass,
I walk away from those moments, fast.
But this feels written under my skin,
A place I’ve never let love in.
If I give all of me, will I survive?
If I stop running, will I come alive?
What if the part I tried to hide
Is the very place where love resides?
I don’t know how to unknow this now,
Don’t know how to forget or how.
Something ancient whispered through,
Somehow I’m yours, and you are mine too.
Soul to soul, I felt it too,
Something in me answering you.
Soul to soul, no touch could explain,
No borrowed fire, no passing flame.
Soul to soul, and now I see,
Maybe this love is lifting me.
Soul to soul, beyond control,
Maybe I’m rising, soul to soul.
This wasn’t nothing, this was real,
A sacred truth I couldn’t shield.
If two souls can touch outside of time,
Then maybe yours was reaching mine.
And maybe this time, I won’t turn away
From what I know is true,
The soul-to-soul embrace,
Felt between me and you.
