Before Anyone Knew Our Name

I miss you, man Before anyone knew our name We had the fire, had desire But what went wrong then? It seemed so big in the eye of our storm We couldn't have been further away from unknown Who did we become? Amen, we were meant to be Was that really your destiny? Was that really your dream? I don't really feel anyone else came close to how we see We had the prize before our eyes But we already had it all anyway Driving round for hours on end With the music on loud Driving round in a scrapyard van With the music on loud I've laughed and cried, I've confessed that I'm liar We built this thing from a dead end street And now I'm looking around for you to see I miss you, man Before anyone knew our name We had the fire Before anyone knew our name We had desire Before anyone knew our name I miss you, man The street's so quiet now Run down and heavy It used to be a laugh Swimming pools of cries Yeah, we said our sorry's Yeah, we made our make ups But that don't make up for what's missing now We built this thing from a dead end street You couldn't drive through, just take the bus or just meet The mountain tops, they don't seem so high The trees I climbed, they don't seem so high I take my kids to see the world where we played I miss you, man Before anyone knew our name We had the fire Before anyone knew our name We had desire Before anyone knew our name I miss you, man Before anyone knew our name We had the fire Before anyone knew our name We had desire Before anyone knew our name I miss you, man
