Balance Beam

I haven't been quite the same
So sure the story of my life would never change
Then 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
And everyone should know that

One, you gotta take it kinda slowly
Two, you gotta hurry up and make your move
Three, you gotta 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 and she confessed
There's a heart nearby to cast that shade

Stay cool
But I'm giddy like a school boy
You gotta 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

One, you gotta take it kinda slowly
Two, you gotta hurry up and make your move
Three, you gotta 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)

I wanna sing to you...

And everyone should know that

One, you gotta take it kinda slowly
Two, you gotta hurry up and make your move
Three, you gotta 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
Some kind of fairy tale
Some kind of fairy tale
And everyone should know that...
