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
