A Lifetime Lyrics

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.
