Karaoké A Lifetime Better Than Ezra

Allie woke up eight 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 'cos 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 yeah yeah

I could drown in you

And I felt so deep once yeah yeah yeah

'Til you pulled me through oh oh 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

Yeah, three and a half minutes felt like a lifetime

Are you sitting in the lights or combing your hair again

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

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

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

Yeah, three and a half minutes three and a half minutes felt like a lifetime
