A Lifetime - Better Than Ezra

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 deep

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
