BLUE OCTOBER LYRICS - Balance Beam

"Balance Beam"



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...



[Chorus]

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

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



[Repeat Chorus]

Everyone should know that

[Repeat Chorus]



Oh this fairy tale oh this fairy tale

Some kind of fairy tale. Some kind of fairy tale.



Everyone should know that.
