Elsewhere

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 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'm drunk in my desire

But I love the way you smile at me

I love the way your hands reach out

Hold me near

I believe, I

I believe this is heaven to no one else but me

And I'll defend it long as

I can be left here to linger in silence

If I choose to, would you try to understand?

Ooh, 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, oh

I believe this is heaven to no one else but me

And I'll defend it 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 understand it?

Would you try?

Would you try

To understand?
