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
|
And I'm unaware
|
That you opened the blinds and let the city in
|
God, you held my hand
|
And we stand
|
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, 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 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, my arms are open wide
|
Your head is on my stomach
|
And we're, 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
|
|
And I knew it from the start
|
So my arms are open wide
|
And your head is on my stomach
|
And we're, we're trying so hard not to fall sleep
|
So here we are, on this 18th floor balcony...yeah
|
|
I knew it from the start
|
So my arms are open 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
|
