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.
