Benjamin’s coming up sober

Two years and a couple months

Aaron’s moving in with his girlfriend

And Calder’s writing all about political stuff

I remember middle school sports

You were the fastest on the pitch

And the quickest to give an explanation

When all of us were giving you shit

It comes and goes

The memories off and on

For a moment we’re still kids

And then you’re gone

And I’m trying to keep it strong

Like you’d do

So that’s how I will think of you

In v-neck tees and running shoes

Call of Duty, up till two

That’s how I will think of you

Tell me who’s got the best burger

Is it J.G.’s or P.J. Clarke’s

And bitch about your favorite steakhouse

“Listen, dude, it’s Peter Luger’s by far”

Or maybe you’ll cook up a dinner

Grilled chicken like your dad taught you

With your big heart, the heart of a winner

There’s nothing that you couldn’t do

And that’s how I will think of you

In skinny jeans and fancy shoes

Bloody Mary, sip or two

That’s how I will think of you

I know, I know

That love goes on and on

It echoes through the streets

Where we were young

And I’m trying to keep it strong

Yes, I’m trying to keep it strong

Yes, I’m trying to keep it strong

Like you’d do

That’s how I will think of you

A loyal friend and brother too

Fired up and fierce and true

That’s how I will think of you

That’s how I will think of you
