A Lifetime — текст песни (better than ezra)

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 youd 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 wasnt right,

But it felt so good.

And your mother didnt 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 theyre giving up."



And I know I wasnt right,

But it felt so good.

And your mother didnt 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 youd 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 wasnt right,

But it felt so good.

And your mother didnt 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.
