Fairy Tale Lyrics by Blue October

Fairy Tale

"I havent been quite the same,
So sure the story of my life would never change.
But in a bright-eyed way, she rinsed out the soap in my eyes,
And wrote a song that I'm about to sing.

She's a magnetic 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:

1. You got to take it kind of slowly
2. You got to hurry up and make your move
3. You got to tell her how youre feeling
4. You got to 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, she confess:
"There's a heart nearby to cast the shame."

Stay cool.
But I'm giddy like a school boy.
You got to 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.

1. You got to take it kind of slowly
2. You got to hurry up and make your move
3. You got to tell her how youre feeling
4. You got to 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.
