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, 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 and 
                              
Thats when I felt the wind pick up 
                               
I grabbed the rail while choking up 
                                 
These words to say and then you kissed me...(yeah)


  
I knew 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 
                                       
'Till I can bring you home with me 
           
I'll try to sleep 
                                  
and when I do I'll keep you in my...dreams

We're both...flying away...
