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,
