When they're giving up"
Your parents had arrived
You know, your dad set his jaw
But they left soon and I went to my room
Like I thought she would
And that R.E.M. song
Was playin' in my mind, yeah
And your mother didn't mind
And that R.E.M. song
And I know, I wasn't right
"No one is allowed to be so proud
Got into a car
Was playin' in my mind
Crashed along the way
Was playin' in my mind, yeah
(And you move like water)
Or combing your hair again?
And we were standing
Your mom just smiled and sighed
But it felt so good
And I know, I wasn't right
They never reach out
Are you standing in the lights?
Are you sitting in the lights?
Three and a half minutes
Felt like a lifetime
Three and a half minutes
And we arrived late to the wake
And I fell so deep once, yeah yeah yeah
But it felt so good
I could drown in you
And drove to the beach
'Til you pulled me through
Like I thought she would
And three and a half minutes
And three and a half minutes
When the sun came up
When I got home, heard the phone
But it felt so good
On the hood of the car
And your mother didn't mind
And talking in rhymes?
And your mother didn't mind
When the sun came up
You know, I shut my eyes
Played that disc that you'd given me
Singing out loud
And I know, I wasn't right
You would tell me
And you move like water
Stole the urn while they looked away
Like I thought she would
Felt like a lifetime, it felt like a lifetime
And you were standing
And that R.E.M. song
On the hood of your car
'Cause I knew you'd want it that way
I swear I could hear the sea
Singing out loud
