Man Like You

Patrick Watson

Wooden Arms, 2009, English

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

I knew a boy that was swallowed by the sky
By the flashing lights
I knew a man that 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 can go for your head to explode
Into peace of mind
I knew a boy, I knew a man who looked a lot like you
I knew a time, I knew a place that felt a lot like you
He looked a lot 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 boy, I knew a man who looked a lot like you
I knew a friend, I knew a smile who looked a lot like you
