Sunburn

Johnny Stimson

You caught me looking your direction

You had a flower in your hair

Electromagnetic connection

I knew I wasn’t supposed to

But I still stared directly at you

 

You really left a mark on me

 

You came and went

like a sunburn on my shoulder

Hit me right in the heart at the speed of light

In and out like a riptide pulling me under

Caught in a heatwave for three nights

Laying out in the sun having a blast

Falling in love just a little too fast

Vacation is over it never lasts

Here comes the sunburn

 

We conversate into infinity

I heard you talking in your sleep

Head on my shoulder on Waikiki Beach

It’s golden hour

For you and me

 

You really left a mark on me

 

You came and went

like a sunburn on my shoulder

Hit me right in the heart at the speed of light

In and out like a riptide pulling me under

Caught in a heatwave for three nights

Laying out in the sun having a blast

Falling in love just a little too fast

Vacation is over it never lasts

Here comes the sunburn

 

There’s not an spf that’s strong enough

No aloe vera for this sting

Nothing protects from ultraviolet love

Waking up on the beach

Maybe it was all a dream

Here comes the sunburn
