Higgins, Missy - They Weren't There Lyrics






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 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 '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...
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
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...
So I couldn't say "no"

Higgins, Missy They Weren't There Comments
  1. S.... C....

    I walked down the aisle to marry my high school sweetheart to this song, though just the piano and no vocals. Our love has always been an uphill battle, and it certainly still is.. but we fight on. Returned to this song today to have a listen, almost 10 years later, and it still brought tears to my eyes

  2. R.... H....

    Missy Higgins is one the greatest musicians. Her lyrics are deep and meaningful. Her songs have substance, which a lot of these pop songs don't have.

  3. L.... L....

    This is a song I'll always remember. I tasted beauty not knowing how much Id fall in love, hurting everyone on the way. It is a continuous flame that will never be seen or heard, but will never be extinguished. I never meant to hurt. And I never meant to fall in love as much as I did. I have watched your talents and beauty grow over the years, and cry inside for another day with you.....

    L.... L....
