[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
I knew a boy, I knew a man
Who looked a lot like you

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus 3]
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
