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. |
