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 as long as I can be
left here to linger in silence
if I choose to
would you try to understand

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 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...
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 understand it

would you try .
