A Lifetime

歌詞

Allie woke up 8AM 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 ((REM)) song was playing In my mind. And three and a half minutes Felt like a lifetime It felt like a lifetime And you move like water I could drown in you. And I fell so deep once, Till 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 ((REM)) song was playing In my mind. And 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. And 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, And I shut my eyes 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 ((REM)) song was playing In my mind. And three and a half minutes, Three and a half minutes, Felt like a lifetime
