I knew a boy who was swallowed by the sky By the flashing lights I knew a man who got lost in the big dark blue And came out alive I knew a boy I knew a man Who looked a lot like you I knew a time that you could stand beside Never rushing by I knew a place you'd go that your head could explode Into peace of mind I knew a time I knew a place It 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 who would hold on to the flames Keep them from burning you I knew a smile I could see through all of the stones 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
