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
