Life Is Elsewhere Lyrics

Between the doubt and the tears
We sat bored watching films
We didn't want to.
Between the tears and the doubt
We laid clothes on the bed -
Never speaking.

Never needing to speak
Never wanting to leave

Between the drought and the fire
Dancing and groping in smoke-filled rooms
Between the fire and the drought
Shapeless in motion, two lives as one.

Chorus:

Never needing to speak,
Never wanting to leave,
But now,
It's like I never knew you.
But now,
It's like I never touched you.

You took all we shared
And you threw it at me,
So I threw it back.
It cracked and it dried.
It lived, then it died.

Chorus 2:

Never needing to speak,
Never wanting to leave.
But now,
It's like I never knew you.
But now,
It's like you never touched me.

Now you live in your world,
And I die in mine.
But I'm hopeful
Life is elsewhere.

Like love, and truth.
Like you, and me.

(repeat)
