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.



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.
