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
that this is heaven
for 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 and understand?
I know this love is passing time
passing through like liquid
I'm 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
that this is heaven
for 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
will you try to understand.
Ooh the quiet child
awaits the day
that she can break free
the mold the 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
that this is heaven
for 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 undertand?
