Elsewhere

By Sarah McLachlan

I love the time and inbetween
the calm inside me,
in the space where I can breath
I believe there is a distance I have wandered
to touch upon the years of
reaching out and reaching in,
Holding out
Holding in

I believe this is heaven to no one else but me
and I'll defend as long as I can be left here to linger
in silence if I choose to
would you try to understand.....

I know this love is passing time
passing through like liquid
I am drunk in my desire....
but I love the way you smile at me
I love the way your hands reach out
and hold me near....I believe.....

I believe this is heaven to no one else but me
and I'll defend it as long as I can be left here to linger
in silence if I choose to
would you try to understand.....

Oh the quiet child awaits the day
when she can breakfree
the mold that clings like desparation....
Mother can't you see
I've got to live my life the way I feel is right for me
might not be right for you
but it's right for me......I believe....

I believe this is heaven to no one else but me
and I'll defend it as long as I can be left here
to linger in silence if I choose to
would you try to understand.....
