Sunburn
Owl City

So there we were, back home

From somewhere inside my head

Well bravely I fought off monsters beneath her bed

Pillars of post-war 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 bees knees and I am the cats meow

It's funny how she recalls when 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

Laid 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 when 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

Laid 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 and imprint on my mind

I tried not to cry as we said goodbye

And hung the clouds above my town

But I she'd a tear when she disappeared

Cause now I'm a stranger on the ground


(But 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

Laid 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
