I knew a boy that was swallowed by the sky
By the flashing lights

I knew a man that got lost in the big dark blue
And came out alive

I knew a boy, I knew a man that looked a lot like you

I knew a time you could stand still beside
Never rushing by

I knew a place you can go for your head to 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 like that could see through all of the stones
That the world had thrown

I knew a smile, I knew a friend who looked a lot like you
I knew a boy, I knew a man who looked a lot like you
