In My Tree

Pearl Jam · New York Ny: July 8th 2003 [2003]

up here in my tree, yeah

newspapers matter not to me, yeah

no more crowbars to my head, yeah

i'm tradin' stories with leaves instead, yeah



wave to all my friends, yeah

they don't seem to notice me, no

all their eyes trained on the street, yo, no

sidewalks, cigarettes, and seen the tempted



it's up here so high i start to mistake

up here so high in the sky, i scrape

i'm so high i hold just one breathe

a deep breathe in my chest

just like innocence

i remember when, yeah

swore i blew everything away, yeah

let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah

it's growin' up just like me, yeah



i'm so light, the wind he shakes

i'm so high up in the sky, i scrape, yeah

i'm so high i hold just one breathe

to go back to my nest... sleeping innocence



up here so high the boughs may break

up here so high in the sky i sway



and my eyes peeled both wide open

and i got a glimpse of my innocence

got back my inner sense... really got it... still got it.
