off he goes [sept. 1st 2005] - pearl jam lyrics

[intro]
1, 2, 1, 2

[verse 1]
know a man, his face seemed pulled and tense
like he’s riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds
so i approach with tact
suggest that he should relax, but he’s always moving much too fast
said he’ll see me on the flip side of this trip he’s taking for a ride

[chorus]
he’s been taking too much on
there he goes with his perfectly unkempt clothes
there he goes

[verse 2]
he’s yet to come back but i see his picture
it doesn’t look the same up on the rack
we go way back
i wonder about his insides
it’s like his thoughts are too big for his size

[chorus]
he’s been taken, where i don’t know
off he goes with his perfectly unkempt hope
there he goes

[verse 3]
and now i rub my eyes for he has returned
seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
for he still smiles. and he’s still strong
nothing’s changed but the surrounding bullsh-t. that has grown
and now he’s home and we’re laughing like we always did
my same old, same old friend
until a quarter to ten. i saw the strain creep in
he seems distracted and i know just what is going to happen next
before his first step he is off again
