I love the time an in between
the calm inside me
in this space where i can breathe
i believe there is a distance i have wandered
to touch upon the years
reaching out and reaching in
Holding out holding in

chorus
i believe this is heaven to no
one else but me
and ill defend it long as
i can be
left to to linger in silence
if i chose to
would you try to
understand

oh the quiet child
awaits the day when she can break for you
the most clings like desperation
oh mother dont you see have got
to live my life the way i feel is right for me
you say its not right for you
buts its right for me

i believe this is heaven
to no one else but me
and ill defend it long as
i can be
left to to linger in silence
if i chose to
would you try to
understand
