Elsewhere

Sarah McLachlan

I love the time and in between 
The calm inside me 
In the space where I can breathe 
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 it 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 break free 
The mould 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 it 
I would like to linger 
Here in silence 
If I choose to 
Would you try to understand...
