Where I can breathe

Elsewhere by Sarah McLachlan. This song has owned me for half of my life.

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 and
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, 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?
