Balance Beam (Album Version) - Blue October
I haven't been quite the same
So sure the story of my life would never change
In a bright eyed way
I rinsed out the soap in my eyes and wrote a song
That I'm about to sing
'Cause it's about a girl that I hardly even know
So this is not another love song
Just a list of things that I should know
Everyone should know that
You've got to take it kind of slowly
You've got to hurry up and make your move
You've got to tell her that she's pretty
You've got to be the perfect gentleman
When you shake the wall you've got to make it bend
Yeah you're got to show her that she's a balance beam
And I keep falling all around this fairy tale
We took a walk in the rain
I suggested she confessed that
There's a heart nearby to cast some shade
Stay cool but I'm giddy like a school boy
You've got to handle with care this is not a toy
Gradually we touched
Though our clothes were wet
We sat and smiled
I never thought I'd smile so much
The first kiss always says the most
One You've got to take it kind of slowly
Two You've got to hurry up and make your move
Three You've got to tell her that she's pretty
Four You've got to be the perfect gentleman
When you shake the wall you've got to make it bend
Yeah you're got to show her that she's a balance beam
Oh this fairy tale
Some kind of fairy tale Some kind of fairy tale
Everyone should know that
