Adam Young - Sunburn lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [2x] [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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
