Alec Benjamin Lyrics

@dalerkasimov3990

Sorry for my English)

@user-xs7hj6zu9p

@Daler Kasimov Tysm for sharing ur thoughts daler. You are amazing and I really appreciate your effort. Good luck to you too buddy <3


And hey, I'm a woman not a man lol

@drdotey2443

How does this man manage to make songs specific to him, yet so relatable at the same time. I might only be 14, but i have extreme anxiety about growing up. (I have extreme andxiety towards enything that envolves change.)

@raytzeng9217

Bro dont overthink just live ur life

@AndrewOrion85

Anxiety is a normal part of it all. Followed by your next chapters in life. I wish you luck on your journey 😊

@theflamingphoenix

I used to feel the same way just a few years back, but I think what changed for me is that I realized at the cusp of 13 that there was still so much I wanted to do. Before, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life, but I then found a passion for art, and things started to feel less aimless after that.

Now, I'm not saying that figuring out what goals you want to set for yourself will fix everything. Heck, I can get into a pretty existential mindset sometimes, myself. There's probably always gonna be a lingering fear one has when it comes to getting older, I sure still feel that way. But I feel that way to an extent.

I'm a very nostalgic person, which is funny because I'm still relatively young. What I'm trying to say is, remind yourself that your nostalgia can very much be working as rose-tinted glasses. Maybe it's just because my life hasn't been the brightest in hindsight, but I've found that a lot of what I feel nostalgic towards, looks worse with the glasses taken off.

I'm grateful for the life I've lived so far because it's made me who I am, and I'm happy with myself. But I've been treated less than stellar be some people, and since I've figured that out, I realized that I couldn't wait for the future. Instead of it still being this confusing inevitability, it turned into something that could be better than what I already got.

Change is still a scary thing for almost everyone, really, but all change really means is that things are gonna get shook up. Whether good or bad, a little or a lot, we don't know, it's unpredictable. It's scary. But I myself find that I'm mostly excited for the future. Sure, change is still something that can be anxiety inducing for me, but the hope I feel for the future is something that overshadows the uncertainty.

Man, this got... a little out of hand. But I just wanted to be truly honest and get my feelings out there. Because that's what Alec does, his songs and just this music video for example are so genuine about something so universal, that of course people are gonna relate! I find that music is one of the best ways to relate to people, but it also comes down to the song as well, not just the listeners. When was the last time you listened to a major pop song about love and truly, deeply resonated with it? Since you're here, you probably haven't, (this is not to rag on generic pop music, I tend to have a soft spot for almost all music, and that type of it has its place) music tends to resonate with others on a deeper level when the writer is or has felt what they're writing about themselves. Not to say that all pop songs about love are automatically disingenuous, but they tend to feel so surface level that they could come off that way.

Anyway, even my little metaphor at the end got out of hand! What I'm trying to say, is that honesty about ones own struggles can help someone with a similar situation. I don't know if anything I said back there made any sense in the first place, but I wanted to reach out because in that way, I may be able touch someone and remind them they're not alone!

The last things that Alec said in the video about how it's never too late to be a kid, and age should be judged by experience, and not time, really struck a chord with me. Especially the bit about how many friends you've made, because I'm a pretty lonely person, I can only think of one true friend that I have, even. But hey, it just reminds me that I have a lot ahead of me, and I'm honestly very excited.

Hope y'all enjoy my ramble that went on for just a taaaaaad too long! 💖💖💖

@janahmed.4.81

Relatable-

@kanaklata1596

@The Flaming Phoenix thankss this whole thing made me Lil less anxious of future. 🥲 * hugg *

@benkegg8524

This song hit home for me. Actually made me quite emotional. I'm still young, but the prospect of getting older scares me so much. This song is beautiful and very nice. Great job Alec, your amazing!

@gamingdemon1235

It's hard knowing that you life is going to change I've grown up in a small town and here I am in 2 months about to go to college in a massive city don't know how to do taxes and have soooo much to clean up and prepare I'm absolutely terrified it's not what movies make it out to be

@BookObsessedGirlyy

I just started my freshman year of high school. I’m only 14 but this song still brings me so much comfort and emotions. I’m taking on a lot this year to help me when I get older even though I’m not ready yet. It’s pretty stressful already and I feel this constant pressure, but I know this song will be one of those that helps me get through it :) if any upperclassman are reading I would really appreciate any tips ❤

@Averyg5233

I'm going through the exact same thing, ur not alone :')

@Moros-if6bz

Im a sophomore in HS, and I know what you're going through to some extent. My number 1 piece of advice- Trust your friends. If you're close to someone, letting them help you isn't a burden. You don't have to be alone- and that lesson carries into sophomore year as well. Let people see all of you and don't mask your emotions, or itll crack.

@lexbonez8705

Hi, Im currently a freshman in college and I myself am not even sure on what to completely do with my life although I have an idea - I want to work with animals . But just because you don’t know what will come for the future or what you want to do when you get older that’s perfectly fine . Nobody should expect an young individual like ourselves to know what we are doing since we are still very young . I would say enjoy your time in highschool the best you can and make the most out of it . Take some risk , if you do plan to go to college do those extra classes they will really save you on the long run . Meet more people , make new friends if you’d like , but most importantly don’t forget about taking care of yourself . We tend to forget about taking care of ourselves and only worry about school work . Have days where you take care of yourself and only yourself , whether that’s just eating for yourself, doing some skin care , sleeping , doing your hair , or watching movies . Have a day for yourself . Make sure to prioritize yourself too . I dont know if this advice will help but I just wanted to put my output out there and give you advice I think would help . If you have any worries feel free to ask ! And I really hope your doing better and there’s less stress on you .

@ennybrunet2800

The song describes :
"The Past"
"The Present"
"The Future"
"The months"
"The years"
But most important of all The Memories 💖
Alec is 1# of my favorite artists ❤

@CaydanceS

I love how you put it. Sounds like an a perfectly worded review. Everything can get something out of this song. Spot on.

@InfinityGhostly

Agreed

@xiikoislive

I am 24 and its been 3 yrs now since i shifted from my hometown. This song brought tears to my eyes, every word of this song is relatable how fast time is moving there is so much stuff going on in our lives and we are not able to cop up. It is even more difficult when we move out of town where we spent our childhood, making a small circle of friends but we don't have them now there are only memories and hope of meeting them once or twice a year. It really sucks to grow up.

@fxdk_tanjttv

yea ikr, my girlfriend lives in south korea so i know the pain dude.

@nicholasmarine768

Alec doesn't get as much attention as he should. He puts so much emotion and awareness of something into all of his songs, like this one made me remember that I should love still being a kid.

My eighteenth birthday is tomorrow and I'm listening to this song as the last few hours of my childhood slowly tick away. Thanks, Alec. No matter what circumstance, you always have the right words.

@BrainFreezeMC

Happy birthday! You are finally an adult. I hope you like it... I am not looking forward to it in three years

@suianisreal

Happy birthday man I know I'm late but happy birthday, I hope you had an amazing day.

@alyssagonzales9122

Lyrics:

[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 start now, time doesn't slow down
I'm on my own

[Chorus]
Guess my childhood is over
Now I'm taking down my 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 my 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 did for me, it’s never over
They’ll grow up and soon enough they’ll wish that time would just move 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 my 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

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

[Outro]
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

@pi3.14etc

thanks , couldn't really understand a couple bits especially the line abt the toaster lol

I love the colours in this video - how romanticised and artistic you can make even the simple things, it helps remind everyone it's all about perspective.

He described why and how each of his friends is special for him. That's really sweet.

@jupiterbupiter

Probably one of my favorite songs because of it… made me start thinking about all my friends and making a little biography in my head

@xGuardedHoney53Music

@JupiterBupiter this song makes me think about my friends but the sad part is that they arent real friends... welp

@stormpetrel5645

Except for Evan. He's a doctor now

@blackpantsog

@Lotte Rijss I just kept thinking about how when Evan is gonna see that all his friends got a description of why they're important to him, and Evan's just the doctor

@Hamza2_7272

''damn guess i should've bought alec that pack of gummybears that he always wanted me to get for him''

I have been listening to this song for a year. But rn, 7months before turning 18, it started to hit so different. I feel like I am not ready for adult things yet... so sad, wanna go back to my childhood(((

@Celeste_51

I absolutely love this song, I may not be an adult yet but I’m 15 and leaving high school in June and I definitely don’t feel ready to be older and turn 16 and go to college, time is moving so fast but this song really helps so thank you <33

@thetherrannative

I'm 25 and this song still gets me crying. It perfectly captures that feeling, moving forward before you're ready and looking ahead to an uncertain future. I'm in school pursuing a degree, and I don't know what will happen when I graduate, or ten years down the line, or twenty. I'm excited and terrified all at once.

@sof4466

I seriously love this so much. All of Alec’s songs are so relatable that’s one of the reasons why I love him so much, he’s such a talented songwriter and he has an insanely angelic voice, it’s beautiful.

@Mattawy

I am 29 now and 30 is knocking on the door for me. I hardly have time to play video games anymore. Life is getting hard and I have never called someone my own. Being old doesn't scare me as much as being old and alone. I am starting to think I am no body's first choice.

@pi3.14etc

you will find the right person, don't give up mate

@megan5867

I'm 36 with three kids and this song still speaks to me. You're never really ready to get older. Stay young at heart and you'll be okay. Don't let people take away what makes you happy. Aldo, as a note to those younger than me : if you really want to feel younger longer, for the love of everything good and holy TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY. That's my biggest piece of advice. That, and never lose your sense of wonder or sense of humor.

I love this song, it really reminds me that time can be in the blink of an eye, so you have to pay attention to the little things and make the time you do have fun and exciting because time will one day run out for you.

@Arktillance

I'm turning 24 next month and this song describes what I've been going through. Even after all this time, I've been able to keep my childhood spirit. Children have a more positive outlook on life and can enjoy even the simple things. Why allow the world to take this away from you? Growing up is hard, but taking one day at a time makes the journey less scary. Stay Strong!

@Silly channel he just said it in the yellow subtitiles looking thing

@Halinta828

This music video made me miss being a kid/teenager again. We all should learn how to adult less once & a while and enjoy the (sorta) simpler times. As always thank you for your beautiful music and lyrics Alec :)

@BaziwizZy

This song rocks! I’m 25 and feel old and feel I should be doing more with my life but depression and other MH issues doesn’t help. I have a job I love with opportunities to progress. I’m in debt though following some bad times MH wise. I’m also trans which makes life a lot harder. But it’s just nice to see and hear that people don’t have to follow the same path. I feel like I’m missing out because I’m not married. I haven’t got kids and I haven’t got a house with a mortgage. I feel like an outcast. It gives me so much anxiety, especially the debt but life deals out cards that we have to deal with. I Suppose everybody has their own struggles you just have to manage with them and seek support when you need it.

@sulukinha

estava precisando ouvir isso exatamente agora.. é impressionante como você é um sentimento. Suas músicas tem vida própria, elas são experiências de varias vidas vividas. Elas são momentos e sentimos registrados em formas de canção.

@Bangchans.Laptop

YES

@Botchan-Sama

i used to play this song on spotify and this is the first time i watch the music video. it made me cry, I'm not even 26 yet but I'm really scared to face the future because im still not ready but i cant stop the time. i really miss my childhood and my parents, i hope they're happy up there, I'll see u guys when i see u.

@rebekahpalmeri9904

This is such a sweet, coming right from the heart; raw, honest, & passionate song. I really just absolutely love it. It's beautifully written, and really just beautifully sang & delievered. There really is so many different factors & reasonings as to why I personally think this is an outstanding piece of art, but i'd be here forever trying to explain it all haha it is one of my favorite songs by him I will say though. 🤗💗💖

@RyanDevx

If your reading this in 10+ years or so or if this is on your recommended, you're listening to one of the most underrated singers of this decade. ive listened to him for years maybe even mid 2010s. im loving that hes starting to get the recognition he deserves <3

@all_things_fun_and_food

Boutta graduate high school in about a month and I’m terrified and this song always makes me emotional, but I absolutely love it

Officially graduating on the 8th!! 😭 today is my last full day and it is the scariest thing because I’m leaving my best friends… I’m not ready to get older either

@randomintrovert7001

Alec is just underrated. Each and every song of his is a masterpiece.

@shanevilloria6533

It's just so beautiful —the way Alec puts the emotion into words. I feel like no matter who listens to his songs will somehow find pieces of themselves in all of his songs.

@hominexodia5328

OMG He actually invited his real friends. I'm seriously starting to wonder that if it's actually possible to know and be close to someone without ever meeting or talking to him in person. What an artist.

@Neat_Net

“Its the closest thing to closure”

@raegamer01

I love this song. It's so catchy, and the meaning behind it makes it even better. The video is also very well made with him explaining all of his friends and showing stuff he used to do as a kid. U did it again Alec!!

@user-zs7kz6zo2o

Incredible Song. I feel it so much, it really makes me cry. Thank you so much for this masterpiece, one of the realest Songs ever

@sirpenguinesquire

I turned 14 this year on the 10th of Feb and my oldest brother is going to turn 17 this year, which means soon everything is going to change, I'm not ready for change. Part of me wants to grow up and start a family of my own, but another part of me just wants everything to slow down and for nothing to change. Part of me is excited to start a life of my own and do what I want to do, but another part of me is scared of what's to come.

@Error_707.

Although I’m a year late this almost made me tear up. Although I’m only 15 right now, I’m sure I’ll look back at these years and miss them. This makes me want to seize every chance I get to make my years the most memorable :) although I’m not sure if they’ll be the best, so I guess I’ll wait and see how it goes and come back to reflect on them, haha.

@randomblob8996

I'm so afraid to grow older, it doesn't matter if I'm already somewhat old. I don't want to be older . Everything seems too close, too far. Like it's just in my reach but I can't quite grasp it. It's a whirlwind and I'm not ready but I don't think I ever will be.
Good luck to all those growing up, you'll find so much pain and beauty.

@shweta_official

OMG!!! This is truly beautiful….love you SO much Alec!!! Thank you for sharing your childhood memories with us….you’re the best!!!❤️❤️❤️ #Older

@luna-thevives

We international people really need captions. Some of the lyric videos of your songs have more views than your official music video. You really need to add captions, please.
You are awfully underrated. You have such a beautiful voice and amazing songs.
The English captions would help people(whose first language is NOT ENGLISH) understand your songs better and enjoy more.

@cliftjohnespinosa990

I've never cried to a sing before. I've always thought that leaving my hometown would make me feel more relieved but listening to this song made me feel emotional about the choice I'm about to take. I only have a month left here before I transfer to a farther city. Thanks for your song, Alec. Everything has been a good journey thanks to your songs!

@trannguyen3561

This song makes all my stress melt away. ALEC BENJAMIN is very talented. He deserves to be known more <3

I just turned 34 and how I wish I had this song in my 20’s. This is such a beautiful song, as a mother of two, I look at them and know that they will be packing up soon and starting their life😭

@yashdeepnigam4507

I've just turned 17 and this song has me thinking about the best 12 years of my school life idk where it went but I'm sure it was very beautiful Thank you Alec for this song and making me feel a bit nostalgic <3

@baekhyunee4u

@jezreelcarl1169

i thought about that too. His songs are all quotes and stories xD

@victoriacasarez1514

i remember hearing this song when it came out and it made me think about how i was graduation in the spring. its the spring now and i just had my graduation ceremony! thank you Alec, i feel lost but excited for the future, and all the wonderful possibilities of life. life is what you make it! wish everyone the best of luck and i hope getting older helps you learn that no one really knows that their doing, even at 20,30,40,50 etc. Its how well they make it look like their life is stable. And life is unpredictable.

@YoGirlyMedusa

Im 15 now and i finally have my dream friend group i have always been an introvert so i never tried to talk to anyone but now ever since i met these kids i have been more social and i can actually say stupid things that they understand and relate to ❤ and im a Christian so its hard to find friends that are also Christians and they are so yeh ..

@chii4585

"youth shouldn't be defined by trips around the sun but by the places you went and the friends you made."

I felt that. Thanks Alec:)

@Taylor-pz2ci

No thanks Alec

@taliw7736

so true

@nastaran225

This fact that you always choose a concept for your songs makes me feel good Because I know for every situation there is a song I can listen to. These days I was so sad because I didn't know what am I supposed to do with my future but after listening to this song I feel way better. Thanks ❤

@Sonalkabra

Oh Boy ! such a lovely heart warming song ❤❤❤

@amitsaha4874

I loved it,alec. Your thoughts are really so good . I mean it's different and it seems to me that you are a down to earth person. I love your thoughts and lyrics ❤❤

@drawndy6761

I'm 19, this was an anthem last year bc I was turning 18.
But now it hits different and similar at the same time bc I finally got accepted in my dream college but it means I'll have to move states away from my home. I'm scared, really, really scared because of all the changes this implies, of really growing up, but I'm hopeful that even if the start is hard I'll find the way. And if someone is going through smth similar: you're not alone, we'll find the way, I know it ❤

I can't thank enough my sister for introducing me to Alec's music. And much more thanks and loves for Alec, for giving me opportunity to know you.

@khuenguyen1412

@cringe_kid_star

Alec, if you’re reading this, you’re my favorite artist! I love your music, it’s very calming and uplifting! For a long time, Alamo was my favorite song by you, because it made me feel better. I went to one of your concerts! I love your music a lot, and I want to say,
Thank you!

@poisonousbottlebrush

This song hit me really hard...... the hardest thing about growing up is leaving people behind. I have the bestest friends. They are the greatest part of my life. they are always there to support me and love me despite all my flaws. I am a damaged person but they still love every scar that makes me who i am.
Cerys Pugh thanks for being there for me, for understanding my feelings sharing my interests and more. I love you so much.
Ian Hazard no one makes me laugh the way you do, thanks for caring and being there for me
Seth Slater youre the best twin. and im so thankful for you and the fact that you support me through it all
Tasha Feser youve always been there for me when im falling apart
i love you all so much and never want to leave you and have to say goodbye

@remingtoncharles861

I went to high school with these guys. I didn’t know them personally but I remember all their faces. It’s crazy seeing all these old places where I grew up.

@aarnzoo5124

@remingtoncharles861

@d3mon.from.h3ll76

i turned 20 in november and 30 doesnt seem so far. im terrified… these lyrics really hit, this song always makes me cry whenever i hear it. i just wanna go back to 16 or something. everyone my age is changing so fast even since highschool its been almost 2 school years since ive been out. i used to think back when i was younger and looking up to people older than me and joking how they were “old”, never thinking i’d get there myself. at the time i thought i would be a kid forever was definitely wrong. wish i enjoyed more. im scared of change 💔 like wow im going to be able to drink legally soon. i mean i dont think its a big deal to me. but where the hell did 18 go even can’t believe its been two years since i been an adult. everyone seems so happy my age, happy about aging. well me? im scared and get anxiety from it 😀 but it is what it is gotta accept it. i mean lets be honest not all of us in this chat are actually “old” 40+ is considered old but like it makes me feel old bc im no longer a teen like damn

@weirdhuman9430

I just love Alec Benjamin so much! His music talks to my soul

@callmeonyxied7018

i’m turning 20 in 10 days and it’s causing me to slip into a pretty bad depression, but this song makes me feel like it’s okay

@dearthofdoohickeys4703

Be thankful for your friends, for many of us this is a fantasy that was never realized.

@yellowriverbyipdaily

My dude, you always hit home with these fresh FEELS. I'm ready to get older if it means we have more of your songs to listen to again and again
