Balance Beam Lyrics by Blue October

Consent to Treatment

2000

[Verse 1]
I haven't been quite the same
So sure the story of my life would never change
Then in a bright eyed way
I, I rinsed out the soap in my eyes
And wrote a song that I'm about to sing
'Cause it's about a girl, uh
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
[Chorus]
One: Ya got to take it kind of slowly
Two: Ya got to hurry up and make your move
Three: Ya got to tell her that she's pretty
Four: Ya got to be the perfect gentleman
When you shake the wall, you've got to make it bend, yeah
You've got to show her that, she's the balance beam
And I keep, falling all around her fairy tale
[???] her fairy tale
[Verse 2]
We took a walk in the rain
I suggested and she confessed
There's a heart nearby to cast that shade
Huh, stay cool, but I'm giddy like a schoolboy
Ya got to handle with care, this is not a toy
Then gradually, we touch
Although our clothes were wet, we sat and smiled
I never thought I'd smile so much
The first kiss always says the most, like
[Chorus]
One: Ya got to take it kind of slowly
Two: Ya got to hurry up and make your move
Three: Ya got to tell her that she's pretty
Four: Ya got to be the perfect gentleman
When you shake the wall, you've got to make it bend, yeah
You've got to show her that, she's the balance beam and I keep, falling all around her fairy tale
Oh, this fairy tale, I wanna sing to you
And everyone should know that
[Chorus]
One: Ya got to take it kind of slowly
Two: Ya got to hurry up and make your move
Three: Ya got to tell her that she's pretty
Four: Ya got to be the perfect gentleman
When you shake the wall, you've got to make it bend, yeah
You've got to show her that, she's the balance beam
And I keep, falling all around her fairy tale
[Outro]
Fairy tale, some kind of fairy tale
Some kind of fairy tale
And everyone should know that
