Pearl Jam - Present Tense lyrics
[Pearl Jam - Present Tense lyrics]
Do you see the way that
Tree bends? Does it inspire?
Leaning out to catch the sun's rays
A lesson to be applied
Are you getting something out of
This all encompassing trip?
You can spend your time
Alone redigesting past regrets, oh
Or you can come to terms and realize you're
The only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
Makes much more sense to live
In the present tense
Have you ideas on how this life ends?
Checked your hands and studied the lines
Have you the belief that the road
Ahead ascends off into the light?
Seems that needlessly it's getting harder
To find an approach and a way to live
Are we getting something out of
This all encompassing trip
You can spend your time
Alone redigesting past regrets, oh
Or you can come to terms and realize you're
The only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh
Oh, makes much more sense to
Live in the present tense
Tree bends? Does it inspire?
Leaning out to catch the sun's rays
A lesson to be applied
Are you getting something out of
This all encompassing trip?
You can spend your time
Alone redigesting past regrets, oh
Or you can come to terms and realize you're
The only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
Makes much more sense to live
In the present tense
Have you ideas on how this life ends?
Checked your hands and studied the lines
Have you the belief that the road
Ahead ascends off into the light?
Seems that needlessly it's getting harder
To find an approach and a way to live
Are we getting something out of
This all encompassing trip
You can spend your time
Alone redigesting past regrets, oh
Or you can come to terms and realize you're
The only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh
Oh, makes much more sense to
Live in the present tense
