18th Floor Balcony

18th Floor Balcony/It's Just Me - Blue October

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
