Pearl Jam - Upper Hand Lyrics

Pearl Jam Lyrics

"Upper Hand"

The distance to the end is
Closer now
Than it's ever been

Road we traveled far
All the lights
And sights we saw

No room left on the pages
We filled 'em up
And painted some

Though the book
It may never be read, oh, by anyone
Oh, anyone but me

And I hope the people are smiling
And I hope that today and every day is grand

Oh, I apologize, so sorry 'bout the timing
But you know, something that I never had
Was the upper hand

Lonely ship on the horizon
Silhouette
Fading out

Bright lights make for dark shadows
The lines once defined
Getting blurry now

And I hope the people are smiling
Oh, how I always wanted to be like one of them

Oh, I apologize, so sorry 'bout the timing
Oh, but you know, something that I never had
Was the upper hand
Upper hand

Help to carry me home
Help to carry me home
Oh, help to carry me home
Carry me
Carry me home
Carry me home

Just need a few of you
A few of you
Oh, maybe just the two of you
Two of you
