Lyrics:
Older - Alec Benjamin:

[Verse 1]
I'm not prepared for the future
So many things that I just don't know
I cut my hair, bought a new shirt, new pair of shoes
And it's time to go, I finally found an apartment
Signed a lease on a car this month
I can't go back to the storm now, time doesn't slow down
I'm on my own

[Chorus]
Guess my childhood is over
Now I'm taking down the posters
And I'm putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster
That's my closest thing to closure
I can't stop this roller coaster
I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older

Guess my childhood is over
Now I'm taking down my posters
And I'm telling all my friends we'll get together next October
That's my closest thing to closure
I can't stop this roller coaster
I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older

[Post-Chorus]
Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra

[Verse 2]
Never thought I'd be twenty
And thirty don't seem so far away
I know I gotta make a little money then maybe find somebody
To call my own
Mmm, I'm not ready but I can't go back in time
I know it's all out of my control now I know

[Chorus]
Guess my childhood is over
Now I'm taking down the posters
And I'm putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster
That's my closest thing to closure
I can't stop this roller coaster
I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older

Guess my childhood is over
Now I'm taking down my posters
And I'm telling all my friends we'll get together next October
That's my closest thing to closure
I can't stop this roller coaster
I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older

[Post-Chorus]
Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra

[Bridge]
Guess my childhood is over
One day I'll be buying posters for my kids just like my parents
Different me is never over though
Grew up and soon enough there was a time were just went slower
I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older

[Chorus]
Guess my childhood is over
Now I'm taking down the posters
And I'm putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster
That's my closest thing to closure
I can't stop this roller coaster
I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older

Guess my childhood is over
Now I'm taking down my posters
And I'm telling all my friends we'll get together next October
That's my closest thing to closure
I can't stop this roller coaster
I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older

[Outro]
Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra

Thank you so much for your support!

^^

[RhiNannon]

as an 18 year old who feels like the world is moving far too fast this song hit hard

[allisongershkoff]

As a senior in high school during this time of quarantine, I relate to this song so much because the last bit of my childhood was taken from me and now i have to immediately be an adult and it's scary.

[dakotaowens]

I hope everyone knows he made this song for the seniors of 2020 not being able to graduate but it'll hit everyone way harder than expected

[monywrmtailpadfotprngs]

Who else agrees with the fact that Alec is a bloody brilliant artist?

[ALittleWallflower]

As someone who's childhood was shaped by abuse, I lost my childhood memories that were happy. I didn't think or want to survive to be 18, now I'm almost 22 and still muddling through. It does get better.

[imanadil]

As a senior, Class of 2020 we got hit bad but if any senior is reading this, know that we will come out of this the strongest. And anyone else, cherish your high school moments, go out for ice cream with your friends, if you fail a test the world isn't over, cherish every second because it flies by. <3

[shelly]

This song hits deep. Being 18 almost 19 and as a senior in high school I really relate to this song. It hits me so deep it’s crazy. Life is definitely moving really fast.

[jordancole]

The fact that hes singing fast in the chorus makes the song better because hes talking how fast growing up goes by🥺

[no]

Who here is honestly terrified of the future and trying not to freak out every time we think about it ?




Only me ?

[keke]

I'm 17, stressing about my last year in high school...knowing that I soon have to go to college and get a career. It felt like just yesterday I was in elementary learning how to socialize with other kids and wishing to be successful...

[sopopia]

I'm 14 years old
this August I will be a freshman in high school. I've been stressing about everything, what happens after high school, getting a job, getting a car, driving exams, college, what do I want to do with my life, will I be a disappointment to my family, will I end up loosing everyone I love, I just want to know what I want to do. The pressure is so big I've cried myself to sleep so many nights. This song is relatable on a completely different level. I want to know how to live outside of my parents house. I just want to know what to do.
One of my friends is always asking


"Do you know what classes your taking?"
"What will you do after high school?"
"Are you saving money?"
"What are your plans for retirement?"


I haven't even decided what I'm going to wear tomorrow, how do you think I'm going to decide my old years???
It makes me feel like I'm not good enough. I feel like I'm falling behind everyone. I'm confused about everything. I feel so lost in this world where there are so many jobs. It's an endless sea of opportunities that are just out of reach but I'm hesitant to grab. I just hope that I can figure things out before I graduate high school. I wish everyone good luck with getting older and a healthy life.

[Dulcet_Doodle_Bug]

Everyone who is missing your childhood hold on to it a little bit no one has to really grow up all the way hold on to the child wonder you still have left, if you don't have an imagination then how do you expect to be a good parents if you can't imagine that you are some in danger and you kid is the knight in shining armor that is there to save you from the dragon, hold on to the wonder so you kids can have the best wonder and imagination, so they can grow and be happy and feel loved and alive ...that is what i will do for my kids they will not know the pain and sorrow I am going through and went through.




Edited: Just turned 14 in August forgot about this just read it and realized I need to hear this, this is still one of the smartest Peace's of advice I have ever given.

[audreybassett]

I guess this is the 2020 senior anthem

[mkmrr]

I can't wait for people to start saying, who's here after covid-19

[benzie]

As an 18 year old, a senior in high school. I missed out on a lot of my lasts in high school, and it hits deep and well i started to pack away my room to move into my apartment and I wish I would've enjoyed my youth a lot more than I did!

[melaniejones]

Being 19 I realize how scary life actually is. I'm less than a year away from being 20 and 30 seems like just a skip away

[yourstrulyundersignedcreat]

Being old has done me well. To be truthful I learned more than I was ever taught as a child growing up. I just miss my dad now. Seriously grateful for every moment after 17.

[Alyssa-ksub]

This song made me cry. At my graduation that was able to be held since we were a class of under 10 through a live stream, we walked to this song down the hallway while each of our families stayed in a room, watching us from a live stream. To all the seniors like me, you got this, we bested this virus and stood strong. We missed a whole bunch of once in a highschool experience and we're still out there for others. Thank you Alec for making this song. Walk tall, you guys.

[kylieelizabeth]

I’m a freshman but this still scares me only 3 more years 🙁 it all is going by so fast

[SuperEmanuele]

"every day when I came into school I hated it... so why in the world does it feel so hard to leave right now?"
-Darryl from the office (not exactly the same quote)
Enjoy school kids, because I promise you that when you'll go to university or work, everything you'll want to do is to go back to those days
