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 that looked a lot like you I knew a time you could stand still beside Never rushing by I knew a place you'd 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
