Prayer in Moderation

All I want is this song to stop being my life...

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

You might ask why... I mean it sounds WONDERFUL.

Wait a few seconds...

there's a hidden track.

I lost a piece of me in you
I think I left it in your arms
I forget the reasons I got scared
But remember that I cared quite a lot
You see but lately I’ve been on my own
Yeah one, but one by choice
You see that’s a first for me
This only me, yeah 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 wide, so long, so sad I want to be strong
Don’t try to take this from me
I’ve already spent living half my life undone
So wide, so long, so sad I want to 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 has called friends
I’ve tried to push them all away
They pushed me back and want to stay
And that’s one good thing I have
I’m gonna feel a peace in me
I’m gonna feel at home
I’m gonna make this cloud above me
Disappear, be gone
I want to feel a punch inside my heartbeat on the floor
I don’t want to hurt no more
Yeah 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 wide, so long, so sad I want to be strong
Don’t try to take her from me
I’ve already spent my life living half undone
So wide, so long, so sad I want to be strong
Don’t try to take her from me
I’ve already spent my life living half undone
I used to be the one who won before
I used to smile but don’t no more
Living just to watch it all go by
