For absent friends: Pearl Jam, Light Years (2011)

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 you just disappeared
Your light's reflected now
Reflected from afar
We were but stones
Your light made us stars

With heavy breath,
Awakened regrets
Back pages and days alone that 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
God, uh you've got to spend it all

And wherever you've gone
And wherever we might go
It don't seem fair
Today you just disappeared
Your light's 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
We still need you here
Your light's reflected now
Reflected from afar
We were but stones
Your light made us stars
