IndefinitelyWell the room was Mediterranean and the meaning was two-foldWe got busted by your mother though you're 29 years old And the pictures wrapped in cellophane like sandwiches or stamps Burned holes in my pockets and in the inseam of my pants And your graduation date is in absentia today And you wished you was there with her, but you told her not to stay And the redwoods and the oak trees and the double yellow lines Although they're in perfect symmetry they keep imperfect time I don't mean no, I don't mean maybe, I'm indefinitely, I'm indefinitely I don't mean no, I don't mean maybe, I'm indefinitely, I'm indefinitely And the car was Japanese perhaps or Hungarian and blue And it followed you down highway one, kept almost out of view And it symbolizes something although you don't know what it is Like loneliness and longing for a future perfect kiss I don't mean no, I don't mean maybe, I'm indefinitely, I'm indefinitely I don't mean no, I don't mean maybe, I'm indefinitely, I'm indefinitely And the second hand's the first thing that you see when you wake up It rolls by in slow motion and you rub it for good luck Time is gonna tell your little secrets to me There's a frightened girl inside of you, I'm gonna set her free I don't mean no, I don't mean maybe, I'm indefinitely, I'm indefinitely I don't mean no, I don't mean maybe, I'm indefinitely, I'm indefinitely I don't mean no, I don't mean maybe, I'm indefinitely, I'm indefinitely |
