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 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
