Comes Then Goes Lyrics

[Verse 1]
High or low, where'd you go?
Are you stuck in the middle?
A spectral invisible ghost
I'm here juxtaposed
Like images of angels in the snow
Our courage melts away, it comes then goes
Where you been? Cannot find
A glimpse of my friend
Don't know where or when one of us left
The other behind
Divisions came and troubles multiplied
Incisions made by scalpel blades of time

[Chorus]
Comes then goes
Comes then goes

[Verse 2]
Can I say, how ya been?
I can guess and conjecture
My altered perceptions unclear
Please interfere
Sadness comes with it a sea of tears
Would some love be best had it not appeared?
Is this you? Here I stand
Intense recollections of pain, self-neglecting again
Like you, I keep it in
Thought you found a game where you could win
Yeah, it's all vivisection in the end

[Chorus]
Comes then goes
Comes then goes
Comes then goes

[Verse 3]
High or low, try again
She fell off the altar
A vision you caught her but then
A woodcut in red
I wish it was not you that she had led
Selfish navigation with no end
Where'd you sleep? Can I find
A deeper connection
In the face of rejection I'm trying
I'm trying
Evidence in the echoes of your mind
Leads me to believe we missed the signs
Can I try one last time?
Could all use a savior from human behavior sometimes
And the kids are alright
The Queen of Collections took your time
Sadness comes 'cause some of it was mine

[Chorus]
Comes then goes
Comes then goes
Comes then goes
Comes then goes

Cover art for Comes Then Goes lyrics by Pearl Jam

At first I was a little disappointed with this song, but like most songs on this album you need to give em a few listens then Boom, they got you. But for this song what did it more, was hearing it was about Chris Cornell. Then it just seems 100x more beautiful in such a sad way. Real emotion. TY Eddie
