Before Anyone Knew Our Name

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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 and I've lied

We built this thing from a dead end street

And now I'm looking around for you to see

I miss you, man

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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
