Indefinitely - Old 97's

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
