Lyrics
Indefinitely
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
