It's a melancholy day. Maybe it's the gray skies, the chilly rain...maybe it's because the kids head back to their college digs this weekend...maybe it's the heartbreaking devastation the people of Haiti are suffering right now.
Maybe it's none of the above...or all of the above.
Whatever the reason, the haunting melody and wistful lyrics of "Just Breathe" by Pearl Jam has been the soundtrack for my day...
Yes I understand that every life must end, aw huh...
As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, aw huh...
I'm a lucky man to count on both hands
The ones I love...
Some folks just have one,
Other they got none, aw huh...
Stay with me...
Let's just breathe.
Practiced are my sins, never gonna let me win, aw huh...
Under everything, just another human being, aw huh...
Yeah, I don't wanna hurt, there's so much in this world
To make me bleed.
Stay with me...
You're all I see.
Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see...
No one knows this more than me,
As I come clean.
I wonder everyday as I look upon your face, aw huh...
Everything you gave and nothing you would take, aw huh...
Nothing you would take...
Everything you gave.
Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see...
No one knows this more than me,
As I come clean.
Nothing you would take, everything you gave.
Hold me till I die...
Meet you on the other side.
