lyrics

Hey man, I don't know what to say to you
It's been so long since we last spoke
But my brother called me up this morning
and told me that you had died on Sunday

And I know we never were the best of friends
But that don't mean that I'm not sad you're gone
Cus you've been there since before I can remember
Living in the house on the south side of the pines

And so I hope
You didn't feel you missed too much
And I know
I could have been a better friend to you
You were too young, it's true

I won't pretend, just because you've passed away
That we were Peanuts, and I was the Snoopy to your Charlie Brown
That don't mean I don't remember walking home from school together
Growing up, smoking weed in your father's shed

But Ben
I won't pretend
That I knew what was going on for you
But Ben
I knew you then
And if that don't count for something, then I guess it's all for nothing

And so I hope
You didn't feel you missed too much
And I know
I could have been a better friend to you
You were too young, it's true
