Band: Pearl Jam
Album: No Code
Song: In My Tree

Up here in my tree, yeah
Newspapers meant enough to me, yeah
All thoughts crossed in 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, no
Sidewalks, cigarettes and scenes, yeah, yeah

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

I remember him, yeah
I swore I knew everything, oh yeah
They say knowledge is a dream, yeah
He'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
Sleeping innocence...
Up here so high the bars they break
Up here so high the sky I scrape
And my eyes peeled both wide open, and I got a glimpse
Of my innocence.. took back my innocence..
Still got it, still got it
