I knew a boy that was swallowed by the sky

By the flashing lights

I knew a man that got lost in the big dull blue

And came out alive

I knew a boy, I knew a man

Who looked a lot like you

I knew a time you could stand still and sigh

But the rushing by

I knew a place you can go where your head could explode

Into peace of mind

I knew a time, I knew a place

That felt a lot like you

I knew a boy, I knew a man

Who looked a lot like you

Just like you

I knew a friend that would hold on to the flames

Keep them from burning you

I knew a smile I could see through all of the stars

That the world had thrown

I knew a smile, I knew a friend

That looked a lot like you

I knew a boy, I knew a man

Who looked a lot like you
