One Tree Hill - Elsewhere

BETHANY JOY LENZ - "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

(chorus)
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...

(chorus)
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...

(chorus)
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 would like to linger here in silence
if I choose to
would you understand it?
would you try to understand?

[originally sung by Sarah McLachlan]
