I never knew him but I think about him almost every day
He was only 13, and now he'll never age another day
If I ever met him, we probably wouldn't even get along
He was a cool kid, in a crowd of people I didn't belong
Used to wonder if he watched me when I was in the shower
If he could read my mind with some bizarre ethereal power
And if I saw him in Heaven, would he know me or walk away?
Somebody shot him while he was riding by on his bike
Nobody knows why, musta seen something somebody didn't like
Why would they do it?
Why would they blow that kid away?
Who was he hurtin'?
And why do I think about him every day?
I never knew him but I think about him almost every day
He was only 13, and now he'll never age another day
Used to wonder if he watched me when I was in the shower
If he could read my mind with some bizarre ethereal power
And if I saw him in Heaven, would he know me or walk away? (x2)
