#65 Im Still Here - Pearl Jam She said to me, over the phone She wanted to see other people I thought, well, then Look around, theyre everywhere Said that she was confused I thought, darlin, join the club 24 years old, mid-life crisis Nowadays hits you when youre young I hung up, she called back, I hung up again The process had already started Least it happened quick I swear I died inside that night A friend, hed called, I didnt mention a thing The last thing he said was be sound, sound I contemplated an awful thing, I hate to admit I just thought those would be such appropriate last words But, Im still here, and small So small, how could this trouble seam so big So big Well the palms in the breeze still blow green And the waves in the sea still absolute blue But the horror Every single thing I see is a reminder of her Never thought Id curse the day I met her And since shes gone, and wouldnt hear Who would care? What good would that do? But Im still here So I imagine in a month or 12 Ill be somewhere having a drink Laughing at a stupid joke Or just another stupid thing And I can see myself stopping short Drifting out of the present Sucked by the under tow and pulled out deep And there I am standing Wet grass and white head stones, all in rows And in the distance theres one off on its own So I stop, kneel My new home And I picture a sober awakening A re-entry into this little bar scene Sip my drink till the ice hits my lip Order another round And thats it for now Sorry, never been too good at happy endings
