A Lifetime
Better Than Ezra

Allie woke up 8AM, graduation day.

Got into a car, 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

Felt like a lifetime

And you move like water, yeah

I could drown in you.

And I felt 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 ma 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.

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.
