So there we were, back home from somewhere inside my head
|
Oh, bravely I fought off the monsters beneath her bed
|
Pillars of postwar books supported by frame of mind
|
While she memorized the pages that I tried to not hide behind
|
She took my hand in hers and whispered her love for me
|
The lantern died that night but we didn't need to see
|
Implying that she's the bee's knees and I am the cat's meow
|
It's funny how she recalls what I can't remember now
|
|
But when her smile came back and I didn't feel half as horrible
|
She gave me a heart attack just because she looked so adorable
|
We both put our sunblock on, played on the beach and vowed that we'd live and we'd learn
|
Yeah, but she got a tan, and I got a sunburn
|
I got a sunburn
|
|
So there we were out there, unaware of where we'd been
|
We kicked off our flipflops and swung from the rooftops again
|
It's awkward but I'll confess she's all I can think about
|
And it's funny how I recall what she can't remember now
|
|
But when her smile came back and I didn't feel half as horrible
|
She gave me a heart attack just because she looked so adorable
|
We both put our sunblock on, played on the beach and vowed that we'd live and we'd learn
|
Yeah, but she got a tan, and I got a sunburn
|
|
Oh, afterglow, look out below
|
We left a trail of dust behind
|
As we parted ways, she held my gaze
|
And left an imprint on my mind
|
I tried not to cry as we said goodbye
|
And hung the clouds above my town
|
But I shed a tear when she disappeared
|
Cause now I'm a stranger on the ground
|
|
When her smile came back and I didn't feel half as horrible
|
She gave me a heart attack
|
We both put our sunblock on, played on the beach and vowed that we'd live and we'd learn
|
But she got a tan, and I got a sunburn
|
She got a tan, and I got a sunburn
|
Yeah, but she got a tan, and I got a sunburn
|
