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

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 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....


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


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...


{{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
