Ally woke up 8 am graduation day
Got into a car crashed along the way
And we arrived late to the wake
Stole the urn whle 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 outloud when the sun came up

And i know it 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
Three and a half minutesfelt like a lifetime
Felt like a lifetime

And you move like water
I could drown in you
And i fell so deep once
Til you pulled me through

You would tell me noone is allowed to be so proud
They never reach up when they're giving up

And i know it wasn't right but it felt so good
And your mother didn't mind like i thought she would
Three and a half minutes
Felt like a lifetime

Are you sitting in the laspe

And talking in rhyme
And are you sitting in the light

When i got home heard the phone
Your parents had arrived
You know your dad set his jaw
Your mom just smiled and sighed

They left soon, i went to my room
Played that disk thatd you'd given me
You know i shut my eyes i swear i could hear you sing

And you were standing on the hood of the car
Singing outloud when the sun came up
And i know it 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
Three and a half minutes
Three and a half minutesfelt like a lifetime
