Pearl Jam - Present Tense lyrics

Do you see the way that tree bends? does it inspire? <br><br>Leaning out to catch the sun's rays... a lesson to be applied<br>Are you getting something out of this all encompassing trip? <br><br>You can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh...<br>Or you can come to terms and realize<br>You're the only one who can forgive yourself, oh...<br>Makes much more sense to live in the present tense<br><br>Have you ideas on how this life ends? checked your hands and studies<br>The lines<br>Have you the belief that the road ahead ascends off into the light? <br>Seems that needlessly it's getting harder to find an approach and a way<br>To live<br>Are we getting something out of this all encompassing trip? <br><br>You can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets, oh...<br>Or you can come to terms and realize<br>You're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh...<br>Makes much more sense to live in the present tense.
