Pearl Jam - 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 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 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've gone... and wherever we might go...

It don't seem fair...you seemed to like it here...

Your light's reflected now,... reflected from afar

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 light's reflected now,... reflected from afar...

We were but stones,... your light made us stars

Pearl Jam - Parting Ways

Behind her eyes there's curtains...
And they've been closed to hide the flames,... remains...

She knows... their future's burning,
But she can smile just the same, same...

And though her mood is fine today
There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways

Standing, like a statue
A chin of stone, a heart of clay, hey...

And though he's too big a man to say
There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways

Drifiting away,... Drifting away,... Drifting away...
Drifiting away,... Drifting away,... Drifting away...

Pearl Jam - Nothing As It Seems

Don't feel like home,.. he's a little out...
And all these words elope,.. it's nothing like your poem...
Putting in,.. inputting in,.. don't feel like methadone...
Scratching voice.. all alone,.. it's nothing like your baritone
It's nothing as it seems,.. the little that he needs,. it's home
The little that he sees,.. is nothing. He concedes,.. it's home

One uninvited chromosome,.. a blanket like the ozone.
It's nothing as it seems, all that he needs,. it's home...
The little that he frees,.. is nothing, he believes...

Saving up a sunny day,.. something maybe two tone...
Anything to call his own,.. a chip off the cornerstone...
Who's kidding, rainy day,...one way ticket headstone...
Occupations overthrown,.. a whisper thru a megaphone...

It's nothing as it seems,... the little that he needs,... it's home
The little that he sees, ..is nothing. He concedes,. it's home...
And all that he frees,... a little bittersweet,.. it's home...
It's nothing as it seems,.. the little that you see,.. it's home...

Pearl Jam - Of The Girl

Oh he deals em off,... off the top,... ties em off...
Fills it up,... with his past,... gets carried away...
Oh half his life,... a hand me down,... wasted away...
Oh he fills it up,... with the love,... of a girl.

He,.. he left it alone,... drilled the pain,... money to buy...
How he makes his getaway...
How he makes his getaway...

Oh he chose a path,... heavy the fall,... quarter to four...
Fills his night,... with the thought,... of a girl

How he makes his getaway...
How he makes his getaway...
How he makes his getaway.
