18th Floor Balcony - Blue October

I close my eyes and I smile

Knowing that everything is alright

To the core

So close that door

Is this happening?

My breath is on your hair

I’m unaware

That you opened the blinds and let the city in

God, you held my hand

And we stand

Just taking in everything.

And I knew it from the start

So my arms are open wide

Your head is on my stomach

And we’re trying so hard not to fall asleep

Here we are

On this 18th floor balcony.

We’re both flying away.

So we talked about mom’s and dad’s

About family pasts

Just getting to know where we came from

Our hearts were on display

For all to see

I can’t believe this is happening to me

And I raised my hand as if to show you that I was yours

That I was so yours for the taking

I’m so yours for the taking

That’s when I felt the wind pick up

I grabbed the rail while choking up

These words to say and then you kissed me…

I knew it from the start

So my arms are open wide

Your head is on my stomach

And we’re trying so hard not to fall asleep

Here we are

On this 18th floor balcony…

We’re both flying away.

And I’ll try to sleep

To keep you in my dreams

'til I can bring you home with me

I’ll try to sleep

And when I do I’ll keep you in my… dreams

I knew it from the start

So my arms are open wide

Your head is on my stomach

And we’re trying so hard not to fall asleep

So here we are

On this 18th floor balcony, yeah

I knew it from the start

My arms are open wide

Your head is on my stomach

No, we’re not going to sleep

Here we are

On this 18th floor balcony… we’re both.

Flying away
