Blue October (uk) Balance Beam Lyrics

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, she rinsed out the soap in my eyes,

And wrote a song that I'm about to sing.



She's a magnetic girl

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 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

And I keep falling all around her fairy tale.

(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.

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.



1. You got to take it kinda slowly

2. You got to hurry up and make your move

3. You got to tell her how you’re feeling

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

She's the balance beam

And I keep falling all around her fairy tale.

(fairy tale...)
