Lyrics for Light Years
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
