Allie woke up 8 a.m. |
|
Graduation day |
|
Got into a car |
|
And crashed along the way |
|
When we arrived late to the wake |
|
Stole the urn while they looked away |
|
And drove to the beach |
|
'Cause I knew you'd want it that way |
|
And you were standing |
|
On the hood of the car |
|
Singing out loud |
|
When the sun came up |
|
And I know I wasn't right |
|
But it felt so good |
|
And your mother didn't mind |
|
Like I thought she would |
|
And that R.E.M. song |
|
Was playing in my mind |
|
Three and a half minutes |
|
Felt like a lifetime |
|
Felt like a lifetime |
|
And you move like water |
|
I could drown in you |
|
And I fell so deep once |
|
'Til you pulled me through |
|
You would tell me |
|
"No one is allowed to be so proud |
|
They never reach out |
|
When they're giving up" |
|
And I know I wasn't right |
|
But it felt so good |
|
And your mother didn't mind |
|
Like I thought she would |
|
And that R.E.M. song |
|
Was playing in my mind |
|
Three and a half minutes |
|
Felt like a lifetime |
|
Are you sitting in the lights? |
|
Or combing your hair again |
|
And talking in rhymes? |
|
Are you sitting in the lights? |
|
When I got home, heard the phone |
|
Your parents had arrived |
|
You know your dad set his jaw |
|
Your mom just smiled and sighed |
|
But they left soon and I went to my room |
|
Played that disc that you'd given me |
|
You know I shut my eyes |
|
I swear, I could hear the sea |
|
When we were standing |
|
On the hood of your car |
|
Singing out loud |
|
When the sun came up |
|
And I know I wasn't right |
|
But it felt so good |
|
And your mother didn't mind |
|
Like I thought she would |
|
And that R.E.M song |
|
Was playing in my mind |
|
Yeah, three and a half minutes |
|
Three and a half minutes |
|
Felt like a lifetime |
