Blue October - Balance Beam Lyrics

I haven’t been quite the same,
So sure the story of my life would never change.
But in a bright-eyed way, I rinsed out the soap in my eyes,
And wrote a song that I'm about to sing.

It's about a girl, oh
That I hardly even know.
So this is not another love song.
Just a list of things that I should know,
And everyone should know that:

One, you gotta take it kinda slowly
Two, you gotta hurry up and make your move
Three, you gotta tell her how you're feeling
Four, you gotta be the perfect gentleman
Shake the wall, you got to make it bend, yeah.
You got to show her that
She's the balance beam
And I keep falling all around her fairy tale.
(Her fairy tale)

We took a walk in the rain.
I suggested, she confessed:
There's a heart nearby to cast that shade

Stay cool.
But I'm giddy like a school boy.
You got to handle with care:
This is not a toy.

Then gradually we touched.
And though our clothes were wet, we sat and smiled.
I never thought I'd smile so much
The first kiss always says the most
(You know)

One, you gotta take it kinda slowly
Two, you gotta hurry up and make your move
Three, you gotta tell her how you're feeling
Four, you gotta be the perfect gentleman
Shake the wall, you got to make it bend, yeah.
You got to show her that
She's the balance beam
And I keep falling all around her fairy tale.
(Her fairy tale)
