Blue October (UK) - "Balance Beam" lyrics
I haven’t been quite the same,
But in a bright-eyed way, she rinsed out the soap in my eyes,
And wrote a song that I'm about to sing.
So sure the story of my life would never change.
That I hardly even know.
She's a magnetic girl
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 got to tell her that she's pretty
Four, you gotta be the perfect gentleman
When you shake the walls, you got to make 'em bend, yeah.
You got to show her that
She's the balance beam
(her fairy tale)
And I keep falling all around her fairy tale.
We took a walk in the rain.
But in a bright-eyed way, she rinsed out the soap in my eyes,
And wrote a song that I'm about to sing.
So sure the story of my life would never change.
That I hardly even know.
She's a magnetic girl
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 got to tell her that she's pretty
Four, you gotta be the perfect gentleman
When you shake the walls, you got to make 'em bend, yeah.
You got to show her that
She's the balance beam
(her fairy tale)
And I keep falling all around her fairy tale.
We took a walk in the rain.
I suggested, she confess:
There's a heart nearby to cast the shame.
Stay cool.
You got to handle with care:
But I'm giddy like a school boy.
Then gradually we touched.
And though our clothes were wet, we sat and smiled.
This is not a toy.
I never thought I'd smile so much
The first kiss always says the most.
1. You got to take it kinda slowly
3. You got to tell her how you’re feeling
2. You got to hurry up and make your move
4. You got to be the perfect gentleman.
When you shake the walls, you got to make 'em bend, yeah.
You got to show her that
And I keep falling all around her fairy tale.
She's the balance beam
(fairy tale...)
There's a heart nearby to cast the shame.
Stay cool.
You got to handle with care:
But I'm giddy like a school boy.
Then gradually we touched.
And though our clothes were wet, we sat and smiled.
This is not a toy.
I never thought I'd smile so much
The first kiss always says the most.
1. You got to take it kinda slowly
3. You got to tell her how you’re feeling
2. You got to hurry up and make your move
4. You got to be the perfect gentleman.
When you shake the walls, you got to make 'em bend, yeah.
You got to show her that
And I keep falling all around her fairy tale.
She's the balance beam
(fairy tale...)
