Testo 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 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
