They Weren't There Lyrics - Missy Higgins

You breathed infinity into my world 

And time was lost up in a cloud and in a whirl 

We dug a hole in the cool gray 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 pre-conceived 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 there blanket of the over-world and so I couldn't say 

I wouldn't say, "No" 

And 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 'till 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 pre-conceived ideas were blown away

But they weren't there beneath your stare

So I couldn't say, "No"
