I know a boy,
He's walking around like he's frozen in years that were stolen
They won't leave him alone
He can't go back to the supermarket or the drug store
That's where they caught up with him before
I know a boy,
Who rode right out of his small town, landed the touchdown
Made a new home
It's his name in lights above the door,
But in his mind he's still fourteen years old

Mmm, no he don't know me, and he's doing fine on his own,

But sometimes I wish I could keep that gate
Just pull up the bridge let them speak their hate somewhere else
Into a void, let them drown in their own noise
I know it's a lot to ask, and it would be no easy task,
But I bet you know a boy,
Everybody does

The safety of night fades to morning, freezing and fawning are all he's got
He can't go back to the school reunion or the railway line
And now the internet is the wild west of the poisoned mind

Mmm, no he don't know me, and he's doing fine on his own,

But sometimes I wish I could keep that gate
Just pull up the bridge let them speak their hate somewhere else
Into a void, let them drown in their own noise
I know it's a lot to ask, and it would be no easy task,

But I bet you know a boy, who might not know you,
But you'd make it right if you could

Sometimes I wish I could keep that gate,
Let fire rain down on those who speak their hate,
Take it somewhere else, into a void, let them drown in their own noise,
I know it's a lot to ask, and it would be no easy task,
But I'll bet you know a boy... I'll bet you know a boy.
