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 

chorus: 
And I knew it from the start 
So my arms are opened wide 
And 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 talk 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 

I raise my hand as if to show you I was yours 
That I was so yours for the taking 
I'm so yours for the taking 
And 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.... 

Chorus 

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 opened wide 
And 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... 


(Second part of the song) 
 {{It's Just Me}}
I lost a piece of me in you
I think I left it in your arms 
I forget the reasons I got scared 
But remembered that I cared quite a lot 

You see, but lately I've been on my own 
Yeh one, but one by choice 
You see that's a first for me, this only me 
Yeh there's only me 
And 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 what? 
So long 
So sad 
I wanna be strong 
Don't try to take this from me 
I've already spent living half my life undone 

So what? 
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 is called 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 fill a piece of 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 

Yeh, 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 what? 
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 what? 
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
