Off He Goes-Pearl Jam

[00:21.24]Know a man. His face seen pulled and tense [00:31.19]Like he's riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds [00:40.80]So I approach with tact [00:46.16]Suggest that he should relax, but he's always moving much too fast [00:59.19]Said he'll see me on the flipside of this trip he's taking for a ride [01:08.52]He's been taking too much on [01:14.21]There he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes [01:22.49]And there he goes [01:30.24]He's yet to come back but I've seen his picture [01:58.82]It doesn't look the same up on the rack [02:05.36]Oh, we go way back [02:11.07]I wonder about his insides [02:15.27]It's like his thoughts are too big for his size [02:20.47]He's been taken, where I don't know [02:25.85]There he goes with his perfectly unkept hope [02:33.44]And there he goes [02:40.76]Oh, and now I rub my eyes for he has returned [03:10.25]It seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned [03:17.76]For he still smiles. And he's still strong [03:30.40]Nothing's changed but the surrounding bullshit. That has grown [03:39.97]Oh, and now he's home and we're laughing like we always did my same old, same old friend [03:54.09]Until a quarter to ten. I saw the strain creep in [04:04.58]He seems distracted and I know just what is going to happen next [04:10.29]Before his first step he is off again [04:23.60]Here we go [05:17.39]
