[Verse 1]
I wish I could spin, turn back the clock, begin again
And I wish I were him, holding your hand, kissing your lips

[Pre Chorus]
I don't want to know what I know
I want you more than you know

[Chorus]
I envy the sun, you catch the rays
Envy the love that you embrace
Envy the one I can't replace, oh I envy
Envy the hands touching your face
Envy the arms around your waist
Envy the man taking my place, oh I envy
I envy him, I envy him, I envy him

[Verse 2]
You looked at my heart
Then walked away and left it behind
You went on your way, leaving me here, out of my mind

[Pre Chorus]
I don't want to know what I know
I want you more than you know

[Chorus]
I envy the sun, you catch the rays
Envy the love that you embrace
Envy the one I can't replace, oh I envy
Envy the hands touching your face
Envy the arms around your waist
Envy the man taking my place, oh I envy
I envy him, I envy him, I envy him

Alec Benjamin

After getting dropped by Columbia Records at 18 years old, singer-songwriter Alec Benjamin built a following by playing in parking lots outside of Shawn Mendes and Troye Sivan concerts. The Phoenix, Arizona native caught the attention of Jon Bellion, earning a songwriting credit on Bellion’s debut album and later joined him on tour.

To build on the momentum, Benjamin began uploading new songs to his YouTube channel at a rapid clip and eventually earned on a viral hit with “I Built a Friend” and a deal with Atlantic Records.

Benjamin connects to listeners by incorporating using his life struggles to tell stories and give meaning to his songs. You can see this in “Let Me Down Slowly,” “Paper Crown,” “I Built a Friend,” “Death of a Hero,” and “If We Have Each Other.”
