Well the room was Mediterranean
The meaning was twofold
We got busted by your mother
Though you're 29 years old
And the pictures wrapped in cellophane
Like sandwiches or stamps
Burnholes in my pockets
And in the inseams of my pants
And your graduation date
was in absentia* today
And you wished you woulda stuck with him
Though you told him 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
play 2x)
I don't mean no,
I don't maybe
I'm in definitely
I'm in definitely
Well your car was Japanese
perhaps Hungarian and blue
And it followed you down highway 1,
kept almost out of view
And it symbolizes something
although you don't know what it is
Like loneliness or longing
for a future perfect kiss
Repeat chorus
I don't mean no,
I don't maybe
I'm in definitely
I'm in definitely
(solo plays over verse)
The second hand's the first thing that you see when you wake up
And it goes 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 and I'm gonna set her free
* "in absentia" is a latin phrase that means 'in absence' or 'missing'.
