"You're Not From Here"

[shavonfan]

I don't know what is going on
You turn around and touch my heart
A silent moment speaks the truth
Something has happened all at once
It should have scared me in advance
But I was falling in those eyes of yours
And so fear was gone
I know there was nothing else I'd ever want

Chorus:
I know you
You're not from here
I've waited for you to appear
To take my breath way
And make me weep
You're not from here
Not from this here and now
Just a touch of yours
And I fly... and I fly... and I fly...

I can't get used to missing you
If this is how it's gotta be
I need an angel to watch over me
No one can hold the hands of time
But I can hold you in my mind
Over and over like a melody

For now
I'll stand still
For now
I'll be filled by the memory of your skin

I know you
You're not from here
You don't belong to lies and tears
The greatness of your soul
Makes me weep
You're not from here
Not from this here and now
Just a touch of yours
And I fly... and I fly... and I fly...

The power of how a person can make you feel for them is the power of these words, I believe. I don't get the impression that Lara is saying that the person is perfect, or that she has some overly fantastic view of love. She is singing about just how much the person does for her in the way of making her feel. I love it!

I agree with you. I also find the arrangements of this song make it haunting and beautiful. It's an amazing, amazing song.
