[Intro] Hey! Okay… Before anyone asks... Yes, I know. No, I don't care. I saved the world last week. I’m allowed a vacation. [Verse 1] I spent my life in steel and silver Chasing monsters through the night Carrying a sword bigger than most people And somehow I’m still doing alright I’ve walked through fire, faced the darkness Stared down things that shouldn’t exist But apparently the greatest danger… Is forgetting sunscreen on my list [Pre-Chorus] They see the armor They see the flame They see the hero They know my name But even angels need a little time To feel the ocean and the sunshine [Chorus] Holy tan lines! Yeah, that’s my brand! Halo in the sky… Sand in my hand! I fought the wicked I saved the day Now I’m just trying to relax this way! Holy tan lines! Don’t look so surprised! The sword stays home… But I’m still divine! I can pray… I can play… I can waste a whole afternoon away! [Verse 2] They tell me "Anya, act more proper" "You're a knight, behave yourself" I tell them "Relax, I've killed worse things" Than your opinions on a shelf I've faced demons and ancient evils I've stared down things that wanted me dead So if I want to dance on the beach... You better get that thought out of your head [Pre-Chorus] I know my duty I know my oath But being a hero Doesn’t mean I can’t float [Chorus] Holy tan lines! Yeah, that’s my brand! Blessed by god Covered in sand! I fought the monsters I faced the night Now my biggest enemy… Is getting the sunscreen right! Holy tan lines! Don’t need to hide! The girl underneath Was always alive! I can pray… I can play… I was never meant to live one way! [Bridge] I know what they whisper… I know what they say… “That’s not how a paladin behaves.” Maybe they’re right. Maybe I’m strange. But I was never meant to be A statue in a cage. I chose the oath. I chose the fight. I chose the people beside me every night. And if I want to watch the sunset… I think I earned that right. [Verse 3] They said a paladin should be serious Always standing tall and proud But nobody ever told me heroes Couldn’t dance inside a crowd I’ve worn the armor I’ve paid the price I’ve been the shield a thousand times So forgive me if I celebrate… Having a little bit of sunshine [Final Chorus] Holy tan lines! Raise up your glass! To every impossible road That we somehow passed! The world can wait! The darkness can try! Tonight I’m just watching The waves roll by! Holy tan lines! Yeah, that’s my life! A little bit holy… A little bit wild! I can pray… I can play… And I’ll keep being me anyway! [Outro] (Laughing over fading guitars) What? I said vacation. I never said I was going to behave.
