[Intro] [Verse 1] I miss you man Before anyone knew our name We had the fire had desire But what went wrong then? It seemed so big in the eye of our storm   We couldn’t have been further away from unknown   Who did we become?   Amen we were meant to be Was that really your   destiny?   Was that really your dream? I don’t really feel anyone else came close to how we see   We had the prize before our eyes     But we already had it all anyway         Driving ’round for hours on end   with the music on loud   Driving round in a scrapyard van   with the music on loud   I’ve laughed and cried I’ve confessed and I’ve lied    We built this thing from a dead-end street    And now I’m looking around for you to see I miss you man      [Chorus] Before anyone knew our name   we had the fire Before anyone knew our name   we had desire Before anyone knew our name      I miss you man      [Verse 2] The street’s so quiet now rundown and heavy It used to be alive swimming pools of cries Yeah we said our sorries yeah we made our make-ups But that don’t make up for what’s missing now       We built this thing from a dead-end street   You couldn’t drive through just take the bus or just meet   The mountaintops they don’t seem so high    The trees I climbed they don’t seem so high   I take my kids to see the world where we played I miss you man      [Chorus] Before anyone knew our name   we had the fire Before anyone knew our name   we had desire Before anyone knew our name      I miss you man      Before anyone knew our name   we had the fire Before anyone knew our name   we had desire Before anyone knew our name      I miss you man      [Outro]
