Old 97S

Indefinitely

Old 97S


Well the room was Mediterranean and the meaning was two-
fold 
We 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
