man like you

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

a 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
