Honolulu Lyrics

It was a cold November night

When I stepped out underneath those lights

When I looked down, I saw that nothing mattered

When I caught that… glare

She was standing by herself, next to her friend

She had me mesmerized with those angelic eyes

Before I knew it, she was living in my head

She's got hair for that goes for days and days and nights

A body made in outer space

Oh and lips that taste like the summertime

My butterflies, were justified

The way she looked by candlelight

And not long afterwards, call it cliché, but I caught myself slipping

With such a stupid thing to say

She said… it was a little forward, yeah

But you're kind of cute, so I guess it's alright

Tell me all about yourself, instead

I want to know what makes you tick

The foods that you can't stand and all the bands you like

If I could say, I've felt this way before

You could call me a liar, yeah

I want to stay, let's run away

Gill, hop in the car and we'll leave right now

For Honolulu… feels so far away

Oh Honolulu… why you so far away

Well, she opened up my eyes

Twenty-four years spent paralyzed

But she brought me back to life

When those fingernails dug into my chest

Get up, get dressed, I've got to head to work

I'll call you later, yes

She knows I'm thinking 'bout her

Call me crazy, I think the word's obsessed

Every second ends too soon

Touching toes in the afternoon

My hair's always in the way

I'll just smile and say, baby I don't mind

She hits me harder than triple sec

Leaving her lipstick on my neck

But forever she, will always be

The queen, who keeps my king in check

Well I can't say, I've felt this way before

My heart is on fire, yeah

It's not a holiday, this is a getaway

Gill, hop on the plane and we'll leave right now

For Honolulu… feels so far away

Oh Honolulu… feels so far away

So let's leave today

For Honolulu… feels so far away

Oh Honolulu… why you so far away

Oh Honolulu… feels so far away

Oh Honolulu... why you so far away
