Les paroles de la chanson
« Balance beam »
Blue October

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

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.

Everyone should know that

One: You’ve got to take it kind of slowly

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.

Oh this fairy tale oh this fairy tale
Some kind of fairy tale. Some kind of fairy tale.

Everyone should know that.
