...i bet you think this song is about you

I think this better than ezra song is about me, hey it even has my name! (minus the E and the car accident/dying part  - yikes) I know the initial premise is a little morbid but hey, it's what I would want should my time come and there are some key things in there that are totally me...
if you know me well enough think you can pick them out? :-)

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.


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."


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...
