Present Tense

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 gettin' somethin' out of this all encompassing trip?

You can spend your time alone re-digesting 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 gettin' harder

To find an approach and a way to live

Are we gettin' somethin' out of this all encompassing trip?

You can spend your time alone re-digesting past regrets, oh

Or you can come to terms and realize you're the only one

Who can't forgive yourself, oh

Oh, makes much more sense to live in the present tense
