I Love the time and in between, The calm inside me
in the space where I can breath e. I believe there is a
distance I have wandered to touch up no the ye ars of
Reaching out , and re aching in
Holdin g out, Holdin g in.
(acoustic guitar comes in on 1st Am7)
I believe this is Hea ven to no one else but me.
And I'll de fend it long as I can be
Left here to linger in si lence
If I choos e to would you try to understand?
I know this love is passing time, passing through like li quid
I'm drunk in my desire
But I love the way you smile at me,
I love the way your hand s reach out and
Hold me near.
I bel ieve 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 s ilence,
If I choose to would you tr y to understand?
Oh, the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free
the mold that clings like desper ation.
Mother can't you see I've got to
live my life the way I feel is right for me
Might not be rig ht for you, but its
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 si lence
If I ch oose to would you t ry to understa nd?
I would like to lin ger here in s ilence if I ch oose to,
Would you u nderstand it?
