I met a girl from California,
She taught me how to dance,
She grabbed my hand and
Threw me up on stage
I tried to speak but
My mind when blank with
Nothing left to say
I know I grew up a little that day
She laughed for miles in
The crowds of people
And held me wild and proud
While I fumbled with my feet upon the ground
The lights shone down
On her big blue eyes
And I knew that I was home
In a messy bar at the end of the road
Oh, how I loved the air (that night,)
Oh, how I loved her hair (I might, I might, I love)
Oh, how we moved so slow and fast
I can't get past so slow and fast
I can't get past the room
The sun came up and before we knew
The grass was wet with dew
We woke up next to the ocean shining blue
I turned to her face that
Was sound its place while
The sun was beating down
I never thought I'd seen the light before
Oh, how I loved the air (that night,)
Oh, how I loved her hair (I might, I might, I love)
Oh, how we moved so slow and fast
I can't get past so slow and fast
I can't get past the room
Ba ba ba interlude
Oh, how I loved the air (that night,)
Oh, how I loved her hair (I might, I might, I love)
Oh, how we moved so slow and fast
I can't get past so slow and fast
I can't get past the room
