Balance Beam

Blue October

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:

R: One. You got to take it kind of slowly
   Two. You got to hurry up and make your move
   Three. You got to tell her how you're feeling
   And four. 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
   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

R: One. You got to take it kind of slowly...
