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
*BRIDGE*
And you move like water (yeah...)
I could drown in you.
And I fell so deep once, (yeah...)
Till you pulled me throoough (ohh ohh...)
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 liiiights?
(softly...)
When I got home, heard the phone,
Your parents had arrived.
And your dad set his jaw
Your mom just smiled and sighed.
(getting louder...)
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.
