Lyrics

I close my eyes and I smile
Knowing that everything is alright
To the core
So close that door
Is this happening?
My breathe 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

But here we are
On this 18th floor balcony..
We're both flying away

So we talk 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
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
Thats 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
My arms are open 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 open wide
And your head is on my stomach
And we're trying so hard not to fall sleep
So here we are
On this 18th floor balcony

I knew it from the start
So my arms are open wide
And your head is on my stomach
We're not going to sleep
Here we are on this 18th floor balcony
We're both.
Flying away
