felt like a lifetime

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 soonAnd 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.
