Lyrics
0:20I used hammers made out of wood
0:24I have played games with pieces and rules
0:29I deciphered tricks at the bar
0:34But now you re gone I haven't figured out why
0:38I come up with riddles and jokes about war
0:43I figured out numbers and what they re for
0:48I understood feelings and I understood words
0:52But how could you be taken away
0:57And wherever you re gone and wherever we might go
1:09It don't seem fair today just disappeared
1:16Your light reflected now reflected from afar
1:28We were but stones your light made us stars
1:44The heavy breath awakened regrets
1:49Backpages and days alone that could have been spent
1:54Together but we were miles apart
1:58Every inch between us becomes light years now
2:03No time to be void or save up on life
2:08You got to spend it all
2:12And wherever you re gone and wherever we might go
2:24It don't seem fair you seemed to like it here
2:31Your light reflected now reflected from afar
2:43We were but stones your light made us stars
3:36And wherever you re gone and wherever we might go
3:48It don't seem fair today just disappeared
3:54Your light reflected now reflected from afar
4:06We were but stones your light made us stars
I used hammers made out of wood I have played games with pieces and rules I deciphered tricks at the bar But now you re gone I haven't figured out why I come up with riddles and jokes about war I figured out numbers and what they re for I understood feelings and I understood words But how could you be taken away And wherever you re gone and wherever we might go It don't seem fair today just disappeared Your light 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 time to be void or save up on life You got to spend it all And wherever you re gone and wherever we might go It 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 And wherever you re gone and wherever we might go It don't seem fair today just disappeared Your light reflected now reflected from afar We were but stones your light made us stars
