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

Oh God, you held my hand and we stand

Just taking in everything

And I knew it from the start

So our arms are opened wide

And 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 moms and dads

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 hands as if to show you that I was yours

That I was so yours for the taking

I'm so yours for the taking

And 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

And I knew it from the start

My arms are opened wide

And 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 opened wide

And 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 opened wide

And your head is on my stomach

No, we're not going to sleep (sleep)

Here we are on this 18th floor balcony

We're both flying away
