The phrase "touch and go" is usually used in reference to a particular situation or series of events. It can mean the situation is tense or that the outcome of events is uncertain. Apprehension, anxiety, or sometimes even apathy can be implied.

"After Bill lost his job, life was touch and go."

"The company's board of directors failed to reach a decision on the way forward, so employees were confronted with a touch and go situation."

Alternatively, "touch and go" is also a reference to pilots practicing landings. They will make an approach, "touch" the runway, and then "go" (immediately take off) and repeat the process.
