Better Than Ezra - A Lifetime lyrics

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.
