Blue October - 18th Floor Balcony
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
Till 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
So 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
I lost a piece of me in you
I think I left it in your arms
I forget the reasons I got scared
But remember that I cared quite a lot
You see but lately I've been on my own
Yeah one but one by choice
You see that's a first for me
There's only me yeah theres only me
And now I realize for once
It's just me
It's just me
It's just me
And I'll find a way to make it
There's no one left to stop me
Here I go
Can we take it from the top
So why so long
So sad I wanna be strong
Don't try to take this from me
I'm already spent living half my life undone
So why so long
So sad I wanna be strong
Don't try to take this from me
I've already spent my life living half undone
I've been talking to my aunts and uncles mom and dad again
I've been finding out that I have what this world calls friends
I've tried to push them all away
They push me back and wanna stay
And that's one good thing I have
I'm gonna feel a peace in me
I'm gonna feel at home
I'm gonna make this cloud above me disappear be gone
I wanna feel a punch inside my heart beat on the floor
I don't wanna hurt no more
Yeah it's just me
It's just me
And I'll find a way to make it
There's no one left to stop me
Here I go can we take it from the top
So why so long
So sad I wanna be strong
Don't try to take her from me
I've already spent my life living half undone
So why so long
So sad I wanna be strong
Don't try to take her from me
I've already spent my life living half undone
It's me the one who won before
I used to smile but don't no more
I'm living just to watch it all go by
