| 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. |
