 0:00 - 0:26):
I  close my eyes and I smile
 Knowing that everything  is alright
 To the core
 So close that  door
 Is this happening?
 0:27 - 0:49):
 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.
 0:50 - 1:20):
 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...
 1:21 - 1:42):
 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
 1:43 - 2:02):
 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)
 2:03 - 2:33):
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...
 2:34 - 2:58):
 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
 2:59 - 3:18):
 3:19 -3:39):
I  knew  it from the start
 So my arms  are open wide
 And 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)
 3:40 - 4:11):
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...
 4:12 - 4:33):
