Light Years Songtext
von Pearl Jam

I′ve used hammers made out of wood
I have played games with pieces and rules
I've deciphered tricks at the bar
But now you′re gone
I haven't figured out why
I've come up with riddles
And jokes about war
I′ve figured out numbers and what they′re for
I've understood feelings
And I′ve understood words
But how could you be taken away

And wherever you've gone
And wherever we might go
It don′t seem fair
Today just disappeared
Your lights reflected now
Reflected from a far
We were but stones
Your light made us stars


With heavy breath, awaken regrets, back pages
And days alone they could've been spent together
But we were miles apart
Every inch between us becomes light years now
No time to be void
Or save up on life
Uh you′ve got to spend it all

And wherever you've gone
And wherever we might go
It don't seem fair
You seem to like it here
Your lights reflected now
Reflected from a far
We were but stones
Your light made us stars

And wherever you′ve gone
And wherever we might go
It don′t seem fair
Today just disappeared
Your lights reflected now
Reflected from a far
We were but stones
Your light made us stars
