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 getting something 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 getting harder
To find an approach and a way to live
Are we getting something 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 cannot forgive yourself, oh
Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense

I was heard at Wembley (L)
Some of my favorite ed lyrics ever ...
for the least they could possibly do
No Code > YOU
"Have you the belief that the road ahead, ascends off into the light"
i wish i did
I do live with past regrets and re-digest them quite often and this songs reminds me that I need to move forward.
I heard it live at Wembley for the first time and I just hope for a bootleg ! This version was pure magic.
"No one cares about climbing stairs, Nothing at the top no more." Chris Cornell
The risk I took was calculated, but man, am I bad at math - The Mincing Mockingbird
Have cried to it at least 2 or 3 times....
Amazing.
I'm no dude! Dudette!
one the pj moments that still chokes me everytime.........
The final part always give me goosebumps.
It's growing up just like me.
They need to play it with a clean guitar live though, with a lot of reverb just like YL.
they've been playing the hell out of it of late. I heard it three times in five shows on the '06 tour.
for the least they could possibly do
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
