This is one of my all time favorite songs/poems. The first verse isn't GREAT, but the second chorus is.
Light Years
by
Eddie Vedder
I've used hammers made out of wood
I have played games with pieces and rules
I've undeciphered 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 light's reflected now.
Reflected from afar.
We were but stones...
Your light made us stars.
With every breath, awakened regrets
Back pages and days that could have been spent
Together, but we were miles apart
Every inch between becomes light years now
No time to be void,
Or save up on life
Oh, you got to spend it all...
And wherever you've gone
And wherever we might go...
I don't seem fair.
You seemed to like it here.
Your light reflected now...
Reflected from afar.
We were but stones.
Your light made us stars.
