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
