[Verse 1]
Why deny all the troubles
When combined with the missing links
It don't feel like home now that you're gone
All the trouble suddenly explained infinitum
You're always wishing and never here at home
You...
All the dreams we shared and lights we turned on
But the house is getting dark
And I don't want to know your past
But together, share the dawn

[Chorus]
And I won't need nothing else
'Cause when we're dead, we would have had it all and died
I would've fallen from the sky to you
Parachutes have opened now

[Verse 2]
Heaven knows if there's a ceiling
Come so low with the kneeling
Please know that I got
All the friends I'm needing
Before my light goes out
As the doors are closing now
And far away will be my home
And to grasp this, I don't know but I don't need

[Chorus]
Further back and forth, a wave will break on me today
And love? Wish the world could go again with love
One can't seem to have enough
And war? Break the sky and tell me what it's for
I'll travel there on my own
And love? What a different life had I not found this love with you

Pearl Jam

Founded in 1990 in Seattle, Pearl Jam is one of the most successful bands out of the grunge movement, if not of the whole alternative rock scene from the early 90s. The group started with Stone Gossard (guitar) and Jeff Ament (bass), veterans of the proto-grunge scene, recording a demo along with local guitarist Mike McCready. Once the tape passed along, it attracted a San Diego-based singer, Eddie Vedder. Along with drummer Dave Krusen, they signed with Epic Records and released Ten in 1991, which by the following year was becoming one of the most successful debut albums ever.

Growing uncomfortable with success, the following albums went for a more anguished and experimental sound, and the band’s notorious activism had its most prominent case once they boycotted Ticketmaster, accusing them of price-gouging fans. In the meantime, various drummers passed through the band, with percussion only settling once Soundgarden’s Matt Cameron joined them in the tour for 1998’s Yield.

With 10 studio albums and various live recordings (including “Official Bootlegs” of basically every concert the band performed since 2000), Pearl Jam has sold nearly 32 million records in the U.S. and an estimated 60 million worldwide.
