| 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 my 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 |
