Space They Cannot Touch
Kate Miller-Heidke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But somehow I'm with you
Let's leave now
Let's leave them,
Their point of view
My favorite place is me and you
I wake up in the darkest night
A perfect world lies next to me
And I don't need to sleep to dream
I just hope I am good enough to keep you
Morning sun warms our skin
And distant sounds
The day begins
Soon their world will come calling for us
But this is the space they cannot touch
I just hope I am good enough to keep you
In Kate Miller-Heidke's song "Space They Cannot Touch," the first verse sets the scene for the intimate moment shared by two individuals who find refuge in each other's company. They are willing to leave their surroundings and perspectives behind to be together, with the singer noting that her favorite place is with the person she is with at that moment. This communicates a sense of belonging and comfort they have found with each other, despite any underlying circumstances that may hinder their relationship. It is a poignant moment that the singer wants to hold on to, hoping to keep this person close for as long as possible.
The second verse starts with the singer waking up in the middle of the night, watching the person next to her breathe in the dim light. In that moment, she perceives a perfect world lying next to her, which is an extension of the first verse's sentiments. She does not need to sleep to dream, hinting at the desire to remain in this idyllic space away from the trials and tribulations of reality. However, she acknowledges the challenges that they will soon face when the day dawns. Still, in this relationship, there is a separation between the world that they share and the one outside it. It offers solace from the world that will "come calling for us." The line "I just hope I am good enough to keep you" shows vulnerability, as she recognizes the stakes of such a meaningful relationship and wants to maintain it at all costs.

How's my luck
I feel fortunate to be with you
But somehow I'm with you
Even though I don't understand why, I feel lucky to be with you
Let's leave now
We should go somewhere else
Let's leave them,
We should leave behind the people who don't understand us
Their point of view
Their way of looking at things
My favorite place is me and you
The place where I feel happiest is when I am with you
I wake up in the darkest night
I become aware of things during the middle of night
Watch you breathe in shadow light
I observe you breathe in the dim light
A perfect world lies next to me
I feel like I’m in a perfect world when you're beside me
And I don't need to sleep to dream
I don't need to be asleep to fantasize
I just hope I am good enough to keep you
I wish I am capable enough to make you stay with me
Morning sun warms our skin
The sunlight of the morning gives us warmth
And distant sounds
Noises that are far away
The day begins
A new day has started
Soon their world will come calling for us
Eventually, the people who don't understand us will try to find us
But this is the space they cannot touch
However, the place where we are together is untouchable by them

I think Keir wrote this - probably about Kate and himself. I love that they don't overdo it with romantic love songs, but when they every now and then put their kooky humour and socio-critical musical awesome energy aside - something like this and "Lose my Shit" happens... and it's even more special.

Just the most unique voice in Australian music. No one else comes near. She should also get an award for her seemingly never-ending range of beautiful 'looks'. A true chameleon on top of that incredible singing. Makes Uncle Leigh smile every time.
Fred Bassett
This song is so important to me I can't explain. I had given up on life. Attempted suicide, Lost all interest in music which was my passion. One morning around nine AM on a Sunday drunk a usal I saw this, Revoked my love of music saved my life.

Hat off to you mate. Takes a lot to get through that. I hope you're alive and kicking strong.

Probably the most talented person Australia has produced EVER! Its also a big sacrifice to not play your instrument as you are singing, espicially when you can play like Kate so to just sing and let the band play makes it all that more special.
Michael Halsall
What a distinctive voice she has! This song has stood the test of time, it's still sounds great today.

Everything you do is incredible Kate. So glad that your career is ever blossoming. Seeing you at the State Theatre recently was a huge highlight of recent times for me. I finally found a copy of Elsewhere after searching for years. Hoping very much you decide to re release it....firmly a masterpiece. Love ❤️ the Diary Song ...so cheeky and beautifully delivered.

Kate's voice is gorgeous and ethereal. I'm Canadian and had it not been for YouTube, I wouldn't know who she is.
