Sunburn -- Owl City

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 flip-flops 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
