Benny Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Watching from the outside
Should I be on a plane back home?
Sentimental landslide
But I don't have the time to go
Will I be saying goodbye
From a dark hotel room?
Living on the sidelines
What am I supposed to do?

[Chorus]
I set myself on fire to keep you warm (Would set myself on fire)
I set myself on fire to keep you warm
What if I never knew you, Benny? (I keep losing touch)
What if I never knew you, Benny, Benny
I set myself on fire to keep you warm (Keep you warm)

[Verse 2]
I can see you in photos
That's where I wanna be
In the face of a stranger
The guilt is all I can see
Am I being too cold?
Is this all I can be?
I just want you to know

[Chorus]
I set myself on fire to keep you warm (Would set myself on fire)
I set myself on fire to keep you warm
What if I never knew you, Benny? (I keep losing touch)
What if I never knew you, Benny, Benny
I set myself on fire to keep you warm (Keep you warm)

[Outro]
What if I never knew
What if I never knew you, Benny?
What if I never knew you, Benny?

What did Luke Hemmings say about "Benny"?

This song is named after my brother, Ben, but in its entirety, it represents all of my loved ones and the guilt I feel being away from my family and living on the periphery of their world. It represents the mornings I wake up in a panic, anxious and worried that today will be the day I get bad news. News that would make my dreams of making music seem infantile and pointless. I’d do anything for the people I love.
