Allie woke up 8 A.M.   Graduation day   Got into a car   Crashed along the way      And 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 R.E.M. song   Was playin' 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, yeah yeah yeah   'Til 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 R.E.M. song   Was playin' in my mind, yeah   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 standing in the lights?      When I got home, heard the phone   Your parents had arrived   You know, your dad set his jaw   Your mom just smiled and sighed      (And you move like water)   But they left soon and I went to my room   Played that disc that you'd given me   You know, I shut my eyes   I swear I could hear the sea      And 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 R.E.M. song   Was playin' in my mind, yeah   And three and a half minutes   Three and a half minutes   Felt like a lifetime
