Intro

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 you'd want it that way

And you were standing on the hood of the car

Singing out loud when the sun came up.

Chorus

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."

Chorus

(Go back and forth between F and C, listen to the recording)

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.

Chorus

And three and a half minutes,

Three and a half minutes,

Felt like a lifetime.
