    this song makes me bounce in my seat whenever i play it in the car. if i'm not moving, i also enjoy bobbing my head around rather violently to the beat, while grinning maniacally.

    Matt beats the living shit out of the drumkit during this song live. I miss the old version. For evidence, see Touring band 2000, Matt view.

    in my top 10 all-time songs period!

    I never got to see them do it live in person. I would probally die if I did. hahah. But I brought a sign for it at the Denver show, but my 10c seats where to far away for the guys to see it I am pretty sure. I love dancing to it. Such a magical song that takes you away and up and far far off.
    My top song for sure. No Code is my favorite album. I want more bootlegs from this era.



    here just for love:

    Up here in my tree, yeah
    Newspapers matter not to me, yeah
    No more crowbars to my head, yeah
    I'm trading stories with the 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, oh
    Sidewalk cigarettes and scenes, (tem-pted)
    Up here so high I start to shake
    Up here so high the sky I scrape
    I'm so high I hold just one breath here within my chest
    Just like innocence

    (Eddie's down in his home)
    (Oh, the blue sky it's his home)
    (Eddie's blue sky home)
    (Oh, the blue sky it's his home)

    I remember when, yeah
    I swore I knew everything, oh yeah
    Let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah
    It's growing up just like me, yeah
    I'm so light the wind he shakes
    I'm so high the sky I scrape
    I'm so light I hold just one breath and go back to my nest
    Sleep with innocence...

    Up here so high the boughs they break
    Up here so high the sky I scrape
    Had my eyes peeled both wide open, and I got a glimpse
    Of my innocence... got back my inner sense...
    Baby got it, still got it

    I want to do the music video for this song. I would dance around in a torn up slip in a forrest while it's raining. I will have this song played at my funeral dude. I love it so much.

    Being high on pot.

    well for me thats what it means.... Its like every song PJ has written, some aspect of the song relates to me or you.

    Thats why they rock, they hit home everytime!!!

    Come Back to Canada PJ!!! one more time around......

    i know pj butchered it so matt can keep up.

    i guess the 2000 tour was too much for him.
    Let's not be negative now. Thumper has spoken

    I am trying to get some live recordings of it. I love this song. Like a child. !
