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
'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
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
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

This is one of my favorite Blue October songs.


I like 'She's My Ride Home' too:

We talked
Together sharpening the knife
Like killing partners for a life
Hey, we can hide the bodies on the ride home

Now here we are
We're licking skin to wipe us clean
Strike a match, pour gasoline
Ditch the scene
And watch this city burn
Asleep
My lap will be a pillow
Steering wheel turn

I'll be reaching for the stars with you
Who cares
No one else believes
So I
Set fire to everyone around
But you
I told you
I told you we'd do it
Yeah we won

We Drive
To leave the past and clear the mind
To watch the sunset set its time
I swear you'll find
I'm your ride home

Now close your eyes
Its' getting dark and the highway's clear
No sign of life from front to rear
Its just you my dear
On the ride home
We're going home

I'll be reaching for the stars with you
Who cares
No one else believes
So I
Set fire to everyone around
But you
I told you
I told you we'd do it
Yeah we won

We talked
Together sharpening a knife
Like killing partners for a life
Hey, we can hide the bodies on the ride home
'Cause we're going home

I'll be reaching for the stars with you
Who cares
No one else believes
So I
Set fire to everyone around
But you
I told you
I told you we'd do it
Yeah we won
