I was hungover for a year of my life
And then one morning you came over
And you brought me one cup of coffee
Felt like the nicest thing that anyone had done for me in months
And it made me want to cry and to hold you
But you didn't like that stuff and you just looked down and blushed
And you told me it was nothin'
Oh Ben, oh Ben, oh Ben I still think about you now and then
Oh Ben, oh Ben, oh Ben I hope that I will see you again
You were my best friend for a year of my life
And it was a hard one, it was a hard one, it was a hard one, it was a hard one
You were my best friend for a year of my life
And it was a hard one, it was a hard one, it was a hard one, it was a hard one
We left the same school for the same reasons
Needed time to figure out what it means to be alive
Last I heard you were workin' in a lumber yard
Thinkin' about becomin' an electrician
Oh Ben, oh Ben, oh Ben I still think about you now and then
Oh Ben, oh Ben, oh Ben I know one day I will see you again
When I close my eyes I know I need something more
A place where I can go, a place where all my love is stored
My house, my place to be
My house, my place to be
You can stay as long as you want
Oh you could never leave
My house, my place to be
My house, my place to be
You can stay as long as you want
Oh you could never leave
At birthdays when we reach out
Is it for them or a funeral
Is it for them or a funeral
I can never tell
At birthdays when we reach out
Is it for them or a funeral
Is it for them or a funeral
I can never tell
