balance beam

i haven't been quite the same

so sure the story of my life would never change

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

everyone should know that. one: you've got to take it kind of slowly

two: you've got to hurry up and make your move

three: you've got to tell her that she's pretty

four: you've got to be the perfect gentleman

when you shake the wall

you've got to make it bend

yeah you're got to show her that she's a balance beam

and i keep falling all around this fairy tale. we took a walk in the rain

i suggested

she confessed that

there's a heart nearby to cast some shade. stay cool but i'm giddy like a school boy

you've got to handle with care this is not a toy

gradually we touched

though our clothes were wet

we sat and smiled

i never thought i'd smile so much

the first kiss always says the most

everyone should know that

oh this fairy tale oh this fairy tale

some kind of fairy tale. some kind of fairy tale. everyone should know that.
