elsewhere - sarah mclachlan

I love the time and inbetween
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
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 mold that clings like desperation
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...
