A Lifetime

In the style of

Better Than Ezra

Lyrics

allie woke up eight a.m
graduation day

got into a car
crashed along the way

and we arrived late
to the wake

stole the urn while
they looked away

and drove to the beach
'cos 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
yeah yeah
i could drown in you

and i felt so deep once
yeah yeah yeah

'til you pulled me through
oh oh 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

yeah, three and a half minutes
felt like a lifetime

are you sitting in the lights
or combing your hair again

and talking in rhyme
and are you sitting in the light

when i got home
heard the phone

your parents had arrived

you know 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

you know i shut my eyes

i 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

yeah, three and a half minutes
three and a half minutes

felt like a lifetime
