When we arrived late to the wake,
Ketika kami sampai larut malam,
Stole the urn while they looked away,
Mencuri guci sementara mereka berpaling,
And drove to the beach 'cause I knew you'd want it that way.
Dan melaju ke pantai karena aku tahu kau pasti menginginkannya seperti itu.

And you were standing on the hood of the car
Dan Anda berdiri di atas kap mesin mobil
Singing out loud when the sun came up.
Bernyanyilah dengan nyaring saat matahari terbit.

And I know I wasn't right, but it felt so good.
Dan saya tahu saya tidak benar, tapi rasanya sangat bagus.
And your mother didn't mind, like I thought she would.
Dan ibumu tidak keberatan, seperti yang kupikirkan.
And that REM song was playing in my mind.
Dan lagu REM itu diputar dalam pikiranku.
And three and a half minutes, felt like a lifetime
Dan tiga setengah menit, terasa seperti seumur hidup

felt like a lifetime
terasa seperti seumur hidup

And you move like water, yeah
Dan kamu bergerak seperti air, ya
I could drown in you.
Aku bisa tenggelam dalam dirimu.
And I felt so deep once, till you pulled me through
Dan aku merasa sangat dalam sekali, sampai kau menarikku

You would tell me, “No one is allowed to be so proud
Anda akan mengatakan kepada saya, “Tidak ada yang diizinkan untuk sangat bangga
They never reach out when they're giving up.”
Mereka tidak pernah menjangkau saat mereka menyerah. “

And I know I wasn't right, but it felt so good.
Dan saya tahu saya tidak benar, tapi rasanya sangat bagus.
And your mother didn't mind, like I thought she would.
Dan ibumu tidak keberatan, seperti yang kupikirkan.
And that REM song was playing in my mind.
Dan lagu REM itu diputar dalam pikiranku.
And three and a half minutes, felt like a lifetime
Dan tiga setengah menit, terasa seperti seumur hidup

Are you sitting in the lights?
Apakah kamu duduk di lampu?
Or combing your hair again,
Atau menyisir rambutmu lagi,
And talking in rhymes?
Dan berbicara dalam sajak?
Are you sitting in the lights?
Apakah kamu duduk di lampu?

When I got home, heard the phone, your parents had arrived.
Ketika sampai di rumah, mendengar telepon, orangtuamu tiba.
And your dad set his jaw, your ma just smiled and sighed.
Dan ayahmu meletakkan rahangnya, ibumu hanya tersenyum dan mendesah.

But they left soon and I went to my room.
Tapi mereka segera pergi dan aku pergi ke kamarku.
Played that disc that you'd given me,
Memainkan disk yang telah Anda berikan kepada saya,
And I shut my eyes, swear I could hear the sea.
Dan aku memejamkan mata, bersumpah aku bisa mendengar laut.

When we were standing on the hood of your car
Saat kami berdiri di kap mobilmu
Singing out loud when the sun came up.
Bernyanyilah dengan nyaring saat matahari terbit.

And I know I wasn't right, but it felt so good.
Dan saya tahu saya tidak benar, tapi rasanya sangat bagus.
And your mother didn't mind, like I thought she would.
Dan ibumu tidak keberatan, seperti yang kupikirkan.
And that REM song was playing in my mind.
Dan lagu REM itu diputar dalam pikiranku.
And three and a half minutes,
Dan tiga setengah menit,
Three and a half minutes, felt like a lifetime.
Tiga setengah menit, terasa seperti seumur hidup.
