I just spent the last two and a half hours taping large sheets of white paper on the walls of my room. I started it day before yesterday, so there was only two walls left to cover. And then I taped up most of the pictures that I took down day before yesterday, so I could put up the paper. Redecorating is awesome. I got to listen to all of my new CD's while doing so. The best song out of all of these CD's is "A Lifetime", by Better Than Ezra. (Album: Closer)

Allie woke up 8AM
Graduation day
Got into a car and crashed along the way

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."

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

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
(And you move like water)

But they left soon
And I went to my room.
Played that disc that you'd given me
(And you move like water)
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

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
Three and a half minutes

Felt like a lifetime...

Awesome awesome song...the violin (or whatever string instrument that is) in it is sooo kickass.
