Present Tense Lyrics

Do you see the way that tree bends?
Does it inspire?
Leanin' out to catch the sun's ray
A lesson to reapply
Are you getting something out of this?
All encompassing trip

You can spend your time alone
Redigesting past regrets, Oh
Or you can, come to terms and realize
Your the only one, you can 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
And approach... Ain't no way to live
Are we gettin' something out of this
All encompassing trip

You can spend your time alone
Redigesting past regrets, Oh
Or you can, come to terms and realize
Your the only one, you can not forgive yourself, Oh
Ah, makes much more sense to live in the present tense
