I Am Mine

Pearl Jam · rearviewmirror [2004]

The selfish, they're all standing in line

Faithing and hoping to buy themselves time

Me, I figure, as each breath goes by

I only own my mind



The north is to south what the clock is to time

There's east and there's west and there's everywhere life

I know I was born and I know that I'll die

The in-between is mine

I am mine



And the meanings, it gets left behind

All their innocence lost at one time

Significant between the lines

There's no need to hide

We're safe tonight



The ocean is full 'cause everyone's crying

The full moon is looking for friends at high tide

The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied

I only know my mind

I am mine



And the meanings, it gets left behind

All their innocents lost at one time

Significance behind the eyes

There's no need to hide

We're safe tonight

Whoa!



And the meanings, it get left behind

All the feelings get broken with time

We're all different behind the eyes

We may need to hide...



And the meanings that get left behind

All the innocence lost at one time

Significance between the lines

There's no need to hide
