Better Than Ezra - A Lifetime
Allie woke up 8AM, Graduation dayGot into a car, crashed along the wayWe arrived late to the wake, stole the urn while they looked awayAnd drove to the beach'cause I knew you'd want it that wayAnd you were standingOn the hood of the carSinging out loudWhen the sun came upAnd I know I wasn't rightBut it felt so goodAnd your mother didn't mindLike I thought she wouldAnd that REM song was playing in my mindAnd three and a half minutesFelt like a lifetimeFelt like a lifetimeAnd you move like waterI could drown in youAnd I fell so deep once in you'Till you pulled me throughYou 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 rightBut it felt so goodAnd your mother didn't mindLike I thought she wouldAnd that REM song was playing in my mindAnd three and a half minutesFelt like a lifetimeAre you sitting in the lights?Or combing your hair again?And talking in rhymes?Are you standing in the lights?When I got home, heard the phone, your parents had arrivedAnd your dad set his jaw, your mom just smiled and sighed(And you move like water)But they left soon, and I went to my roomPlayed that disc that you'd given meAnd I shut my eyesSwear I could hear the seaAnd we were standingOn the hood of your carSinging out loud when the sun came upAnd 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 mindAnd three and a half minutesThree and a half minutesFelt like a lifetime
