Light Years

I抳e used hammers made out of wood

I have played games with pieces and rules

I抳e deciphered tricks at the bar

But now you抮e gone, I haven抰 figured out why

I抳e come up with riddles and jokes about war

I抳e figured out numbers and what they抮e for

I抳e understood feelings, and I抳e understood words

But how could you be taken away?

And wherever you抳e gone, and wherever we might go

It don抰 seem fair, today just disappeared

Your light抯 reflected now, reflected from afar

We were but stones, your light made us stars

The heavy breath, awakened regrets

Backpages and days alone, that could have been spent

Together, but we were miles apart

Every inch between us becomes light years now

No need to be void, or save up on life

You got to spend it all

And wherever you抳e gone, and wherever we might go

It don抰 seem fair, you seemed to like it here

Your light抯 reflected now, reflected from afar

We were but stones, your light made us stars

And wherever you抳e gone, and wherever we might go

It don抰 seem fair, today just disappeared

Your light抯 reflected now, reflected from afar

We were but stones, your light made us stars
