Artist: Missy Higgins Album: The Sound Of White (International) (2005) Title: They Weren't There
Lyrics They Weren't ThereYou breathed infinity into my world And time was lost up in a cloud and in a whirl We dug a hole in the cool grey earth and lay there for the night
Then you said, "Wait for me We'll fly the wind We'll grow old and you'll be stronger without him"
But Oh Now my world is at your feet I was lost and I was found but I was alive and now I've drowned
So now I will be waiting for the world to hear my song So they can tell me I was wrong
But they weren't there beneath your stare And they weren't stripped 'Til they were bare of any bindings from the world outside that room And they weren't taken by the hand and led through fields of naked land Where any preconceived ideas were blown away So I couldn't say no
You sighed and I was lost in you Weeks could've past for all I knew You were the blanket of the over world and so I couldn't say I wouldn't say no
But they all said, "You're too young to even know Just don't let it grow and you'll be stronger without him"
But Oh Now my world is at your feet I was lost and I was found but I was alive and now I've drowned
So now I will be waiting for the world to hear my song So they can tell me I was wrong
But they weren't there beneath your stare And they weren't stripped 'Til they were bare of any bindings from the world outside that room And they weren't taken by the hand and led through fields of naked land Where any preconceived ideas were blown away (Were blown away)
But they weren't there beneath your stare And they weren't stripped 'Til they were bare of any bindings from the world outside that room (Blown away) (Were blown away) And they weren't taken by the hand and led through fields of naked land (Were blown away) Where any preconceived ideas were blown away So I couldn't say no |
