Blue October, "Balance Beam"

I havent been quite the same,
so sure the story of my life would never change
In a bright-eyed way
Rinsed out the soap in my eyes and wrote a song that I'm about to sing

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 every man 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 gotta make 'em bend
You gotta show her that
She's the balance beam
and I keep falling all around her fairy tale

We took a walk in the rain
My suggestion, she requested
The park nearby to catch the shade
Stay cool but I'm giddy like a schoolboy
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

Chorus

I want to sing to you.

Every man should know that:
Chorus

Some kind of fairy tale
Some kind of fairy tale
And
Every man should know that.

I like this. I kinda got a Wallflowers vibe off of it, but everyone else's results may vary.
