Man like you

I knew a boy that was swallowed by the sky
By the flashing lights
I knew a man that got lost in the big dull blue
And came out alive

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

I knew a time you could stand still and sigh
But the rushing by
I knew a place you can go where your head could 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 I could see through all of the stars
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
