Blue October — 18th Floor Balcony

[Verse 1] 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 stared Just taking in everything [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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, yeah [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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 So here we are On this 18th floor balcony, yeah [Chorus] 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
