~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's just a stitch in time
It's perfect, I don't mind
Sailing on your endless sea
You're perfect, I don't mind
I've got your stitch in mine
Everywhere I wanna be

Don't say you want too much
They'll say you've had enough
Don't let them lay their trips on you

There's somewhere I just gotta be... Oooh, yeah yeah
There's somewhere I just gotta be

You're everywhere at once, and you can't break free
You're everywhere at once, and you can't break free
You're everywhere at once, and you can't catch me, watch out
There's somewhere I just gotta be, Oooh

It's just a stitch in time
We fit together fine
A puzzle looking for its piece
You're perfect, I don't mind
Your trouble makes you mine
Everywhere I look I see

Don't say you want too much
They'll say you've had enough
Don't let them lay their trips on you

There's somewhere I just gotta be... Oooh, well
There's somewhere I just gotta be

You're everywhere at once, and you can't break free...
You're everywhere at once, and you can't break free..
You're everywhere at once, and you can't catch me, watch out
There's somewhere I just gotta be... Oooh, yeah yeah
There's somewhere I just gotta be...
There's somewhere I just gotta be... Oooh, well
There's somewhere I just gotta be
