Better Than Ezra - A Lifetime
Intro: ,, x2
(,,)
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.
