She fed me strawberries

  And freezer-burned ice cream

  I said "Goodbye, I guess"

  She lifted up her dress

  And so I must confess

We made out one more

  Time before I left for good

  She thought I'd come back

  But I wouldn't want to seem like other guys

A book-and-record love

  We sat and read our books

  Between those longing looks

  Compounded by our fear

  My tongue inside her ear

My tongue inside her

  In the basement of her mother's

  House where we once taped the

  First three sides of Sandanista! for my car

[G/f#]

We were looking for ourselves and found each other

  [G/f#]

In the car, it was rare to do much more than simply mess around

[G/f#]

In the car, it was mostly mutual masturbation

  And though we spoke of penetration, I'd have to wait

  For someone else to try it out

Once I had this dream

  where I slept with her mom

  Unless I've got this wrong

  A secret all along

  Unless she hears this song

Unless she hears it

  On a tape inside her car

  With her new husband and she

  Turns to him and says "I think that's me"

  [G/f#]

In the car, we were looking for ourselves but found each other

  [G/f#]

In the car, we groped for excuses not to be alone anymore

[G/f#]

In the car, we were waiting for our lives to start their endings

  In the car, we were never making love

  We were never making love

  We were never making love
