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 didnt need to see
Implying that shes the bees knees and I am the cats meow
Its funny how she recalls what I cant remember now
But when her smile came back and I didnt 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 wed live and wed 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 wed been
We kicked off our flip-flops and swung from the rooftops again
Its awkward but Ill confess shes all I can think about
And its funny how I recall what she cant remember now
But when her smile came back and I didnt 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 wed live and wed 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 Im a stranger on the ground
When her smile came back and I didnt feel half as horrible
She gave me a heart attack
We both put our sunblock on, played on the beach and
vowed that wed live and wed 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
