Bench - ORIGINAL SONG

The Base Anthem

[V[Verse 1]

On a bench with the view of a town we both knew but felt lost in

We would sit, we would stare, not yet fully aware what our hearts knew

On a bench, writing notes, full of jokes, full of hope, when away from

Had no phones, just our souls, full of tropes, anecdotes, subtle miss you’s

On a bench, on a mount, is where we’d talk about all our secrets

We would bond, we’d sit close, our first home, our first glance of our future

On a bench, late at night, under gold city lights, love was moonlit

and it shown in a way that grew brighter each day, ridding darkness

V[Chorus]

On a bench we ruled out any worries or doubts, felt completed

We felt seen, we felt safe, in our favorite place— where we needed

V[Verse 2]

On a bench, in the rain, no more left to explain, had our first kiss

under a mini umbrella, all gray turned to color, clouds were parted

By our bench, on that street, with one down on one knee, an agreement

Made a wish, made a pact, and we never turned back but return here

On a bench, we would come, when the world felt undone, watch a sunset

No need to talk, or nonstop, side by side was enough— we’d get through it

On a bench, still we sit, thirty years, still exists in the same lot

We still fit like a glove, still share stories and love, still laugh like kids

On a bench, with a skyline that feels frozen in time, just like we do

At our place on the hill, where time seems to stand still, we feel brand new

[Bridge]

By the bench, when we go, one thing that is for sure— final rest spot

in the place that we know as our ‘no place like home,’ never to part

[Outro]

Find your bench, dream it so, find the person whose place is right by you

And I promise you this — you will live every day with the best view

And I promise you this — you will live every day with the best view
