"Where I Stood" Missy Higgins



There's no doubt about 'Youtube'!!
I was watching 'Grey's Anatomy' series 4 ep 9 here at home in Oz on Sunday night [as is our custom] and heard the familiar strains of Missy Higgins over the crashed and upturned paramedic ambulance disaster in the episode...
I was reflecting on how good Missy is at creating moody and deep mood with her tunes and those catchy one liners that expaqnd into a song about a particular relationship but give you glimpses of comment that could be about anyone and any relationship or self examination. It's lines like "I don't know what I've done, or if I like what I've begun" which echoed in just the right moments in this touching storyline of one paramedics observation saving the life of his partner just before taking his own last gasp!!
Determined to post a clip of the song here I should not have been surprised to find the clip from the show uploaded... enjoy!!

"Where I Stood" Missy Higgins
I dont know what I've done
Or if I like what I've begun
But something told me to run
And honey you know me it's all or none
There were sounds in my head
Little voices whispering
That I should go and this should end
Oh and I found my self listening
Cause I dont know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I dont know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
Cause she will love you more then I could
She who dares to stand where I stood
See I thought love was black and white
That it was wrong or it was right
But you ain't leaving without a fight
And I think I am just as torn inside
Cause I dont know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I dont know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
Cause she will love you more then I could
She who dares to stand where I stood
And I wont be far from where you are if ever you should call
You meant more to me then any one I've ever loved at all
But you taught me how to trust myself
And so I say to you, this is what I have to do.
Cause I dont know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I dont know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
Cause she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood
She who dares to stand where I stood.
