Christina Aguilera - Anywhere But Here lyrics

[Verse 1] There's no need for distance No need for touch No need for answers cause I've heard enough I've just found a chair some place out of reach I enter the darkness and claim my release And open my, open my heart Sing like a nightingale opened my, opened my hands When no one else understands [Chorus] I just close my eyes And count to ten Breathe in twice And open them Nowhere to go cause I've been there before In my mind it is near I escape all I fear So by closing my eyes I am anywhere but here [Verse 2] There's no need for anger Religion or faith One blade of grief Will always remain It's not on the paper Or a story book It's a place to reunite with all that was took And open my, open my heart Sing like a nightingale opened my, opened my hands When no one else understands [Chorus] I just close my eyes And count to ten Breathe in twice And open them Nowhere to go cause I've been there before In my mind it is near I escape all I fear So by closing my eyes I am anywhere but here [Bridge] Picture a land where you never have been Where life is eternal and evergreen The future of happiness and certainty You're loved and you're lost there for now and eternity [Chorus] I just close my eyes And count to ten Breathe in twice And open them Nowhere to go cause I've been there before In my mind it is near I escape all I fear So by closing my eyes I am anywhere but here
