Sunburn Lyrics - 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 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
