Intro

C Am F Dm

Verse I

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

Chorus (play 2x)

I don't mean no,

I don't maybe

I'm in definitely

Verse II

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

Bridge

(solo plays over verse)

Am C

The second hand's the first thing that you see when you wake up

F Dm

And it goes by in slow motion, and you rub it for good luck

Am C

Time is gonna tell your little secrets to me

F Dm

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'.
