Life Is Elsewhere - Graveyard Train

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 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? 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, 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?

I wasn't there when you needed me You never let me in your life I didn't say what bothered me You sure said more than that The silence that followed didn't do us any good And it seems like you settled for me 'Cause I was the best that you could get But there wasn't enough I know what you want And you're not the one for me I've been leaving you since the day we met And it feels like you have too I remember when I met you The day I saw your smile And now it's time to let go Oh, it's time to feel alive The problems I have with you Are the ones you have with me Even though we were holding love We both know we drifted apart I guess this is it, why bother when there's nothing left? When neither you or me are here Growing bitter and uncomfortably numb Losing what we had At least we tried but it wasn't meant to be I've been leaving you since the day we met And it feels like you have too The reasons that I loved you Oh, the ones that made me go The reasons that I loved you Oh, I've got to let you low I should have seen it coming Should have known what to expect I should have seen the sign Should have known that it was wrong I've been leaving you since the day that we met And it feels like you have too The reasons that I loved you Oh, the ones that made me go The reasons that I loved you Oh, I got to let you low I am sorry that we got here But I'm glad, glad that we are done I don't wanna go back there 'Cause the love I felt is gone 'Cause the love I felt is gone All right
