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!
as an 18 year old who feels like the world is moving far too fast this song hit hard
nannon 2001 18 is a hard age. I’m 19 next month what is even happening?! It’s all to fast
I'm almost 21 and I feel the same...
@Nicki Yellen
Same I'm 18 and I'm going to be 19 next month and all everyone is talking about is my options and it's really stressful 😔
I’m 22 and this song makes me want to cry...like I really do feel 30😭😭😭
This is my last year of high school...im only 17 but gosh it is going fast
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.
Me too... I'm a senior too... the college I had planned on going to denied me because of the virus... prom was canceled and all graduation ceremonies in my state have been banned
Same here.... my robotics team I spent over 20 hours a week working on for months was cut off a week before competition.... it’s hard that we were just thrown into adulthood like we are. I haven’t had a ceremony but my school has said I’m “graduated” already. But this virus will be cured. The world will open again. We maybe starting to be adult earlier than we expect but life isn’t over it’s just beginning 🥺☺️ you will do great things in life it is the end of an era but the beginning of another.
Same. I thought I would have so much more time but I committed to college on the first and I think thats the first time it really sunk in that my childhood is over and its time to grow up. Its scary asf, especially since im moving to another country and itll be a while until I can see my friends again
Yeah same here, we just had a drive through graduation and they’ll mail us the actual diplomas, everything still hurts. I’m not ready to get older
Everything seems to be ripped from us because of all thats happening... everyone makes graduating seem like an awsome thing but its hard, and with walking (which i looked forward to as i had played in the band for graduation 3 years in a row) being taken its worse for all 2020 seniors. To anyone pushing through this, and whom sees this, you did it. Lots may be taken from you. But you pushed through way worse i.e finalls😂
I can't wait for people to start saying, who's here after covid-19
Our country didn’t really have any new cases now! Hope the world get better soon
@@sydneychen7373 me too, hope everyone is doing okay
I am my state dont have many cases
Mkmr R I’m crying
COVID came back...
Who here is honestly terrified of the future and trying not to freak out every time we think about it ?
Only me ? Okay.....
You're not the only one, I don't know what I wanna be and that gives me anxiety so does thinking about future. I just turned 13 and I'm officially a teenager. When I was 7 I thought I would be the happiest person on the earth but instead:
I move from house to house
No friends
Anxiety attacks
My bff is hours away
Not as smart as everyone else
And I'm scared of being that one old woman alone and forgotten.
---------------------
Edit: 15 now, lots of things changed, I don't want to tell anyone my sob story cause everyone has problems.
I know if you're here, looking at the comment above mine, you're probably nervous or sad.
I know it's tough, I know that you may be lonely or scared of the future. Your thoughts are telling you that you won't make it, you can't do anything, don't listen to that crap.
Adults are just pretending to know everything and be okay, but they're just as scared as us.
You probably don't know who you are, or where you'll be at in five years, but don't be afraid.
God is here for you, and I know He will listen. It may be silent, it might be loud and crowded. But He is here for you, He knows everything about you, your imperfections, your flaws, your talents, your favorite food, everything.
I know I'm getting lengthy, but just pray. Start with, "Lord, I'm --" it's that easy. He is real, and He can bring you peace when everything around you is a hurricane.
We can get through this.
❤️
- 2023 -
I feel like I'm writing some update post every so often 😂. 16 now, lemme tell you my life is still chaotic, what's funny is I completely forgot about this until someone replied back a few hours ago. It's like seeing how far I've come, and if I know I can get through some crap and hold God's hand like if you don't, you feel like you're gonna die! Then you can too! 😂
Man, I really mean it. ❤️
Not just you 😔
@@Roxyy_Foxyy honestly same
Same...
Same 😕
When we were young we wished to grow up
But now when we grow up all we want is to go back to when most of our lives were fun
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
Inspiring
My brother is a 2020 graduate but this year I really started to get close to him and now he has to leave 😭😭❤️
I’m one of those seniors
I graduated in 2018, and I am 20 now...in college and have a job and god it reminds me that I am getting older.
Being one of those seniors, this song hits so hard and honestly has such a place in my heart, along with all my fellow 2020 grads who are going out into this chaotic world we’re in right now after getting cheated. Congrats to you all fellow grads! Sending so much love 💖
and thats on class of 2020
That's actually why he made this song.
Yup you're right
Class of 2020 gang
and 2021 now too ahaha :') I'm scared to graduate
2021 graduatations almost here guys. Scary to think it's almost over
Who else agrees with the fact that Alec is a bloody brilliant artist?
Me
He's so underrated omg
Meh
Me
me
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.
Same sometimes I just want to be a kid and get the childhood I missed out on i want to but I can’t I work 40 hours and have to help out at the house and buy groceries, I just want to be a kid again
@@Jess-kg2pq Hi, I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner. Have you found ways to connect with your inner child?
@@ALittleWallflower yeah my current boyfriend helps a lot he’ll notice when I’m to stress and play something with me and I’ve noticed ill age regress a bit and watch cartoons and color a lot 😅 it helps a good amount honestly
@@Jess-kg2pq Same though. The little things make a big difference.
God same I'm 19 rn and just filled with resentment and sadness over the fact that I'm not getting back my teenage years or my childhood because of abuse and the trauma that insues it :( hopefully it'll get better
I'm only 14, but 4 more years til I'm 18. I'm not ready at all.
Disal Tech Almost 20. Enjoy it while it lasts lol.
..I’ve got 2 years...I’m terrified
Im 28 and i just now feel that its over. So calm down with 18 nothing over
I only have 3 years left I’m starting to learn how to drive everything has gone by so fast 🙁
@@cancelledkaley same
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
I'm 23 days away from being 20 and I'm so scared.
@@nissihires3518 I feel that 😬 didn't it seem like when we were much younger time went by so slow and now it's just rocketing by? I'm getting an internship 2,000 miles away from my home next summer and ive saved up thousands for it to go by myself and I dont feel old enough to be able to do things like that.
@@nissihires3518 28 days from being 20. and literally same.
I turned 29 this year yeah it's a skip but enjoy the part where you're off the ground.
just remember everyone you helped, your pets whose lives have been so much brighter because of your presence, your friends who you've been a pillar of support for, good deeds you've done. No matter how small any of these things seem, they matter. And they wouldn't exist if not for you.
That's what helps me keep going :)
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...
Same..same
I know right, it went by soooo quick. I wish someone told me it’d be like this… it seemed like time was endless when I was a kid.
@@Girlboss213 it sucks to be 17 right now. World is on pause yet we’re not quite old enough to buy liquor and drink our sorrows away lmaooo
Same thoughts
Hi! Turning 20 like me?
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.
I’ll save this 🙂🙂
@@visionz8176 😊
I lost my childhood at age 11. I’ll be 15 soon, and my personal crisis hasn’t stopped yet. I wish I could keep hold of my happier days.
@@alphachaoszines I'm turning 15 soon to and I lost and am losing a lot in life if you need to talk I'm here live is a long, hard, scary, bumpy, sometimes fun rollercoaster of hell
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.
Heyyyy it’s okay it’s okay I know it feels overwhelming and stressful and everything bad but it is so so so important that you remember that you get one life and it’s a waste to spend it worrying about the future. Right now you are where you are and that is okay, things will change but you will too. You are going to grow and learn and become the best version of yourself. And through growing all of your questions and concerns will be answered so be patient. Take your time. You are young and brave and strong and you got this. Deep breaths. I don’t know you but I know you are going to do so well in everything just enjoy it all okay?
I feel the exact same way going into high school! No one seems to get how many things are suddenly coming at us
Nicoletta but we got this😤✌🏻right?
lil G but we got this, right? 😤✌🏻
Ah to be 14 again... ❤😂 I just turned 18 and I still have no idea what I'm doing but don't let it scare you too much. Live in the moment and don't let what anyone says get to you because you have 4 more years to have fun and figure things out. You are young! You've got this. :) 💙
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.
And I wish I did that all. I ruined my highschool time by staying home, being depressed and not really hanging out with friends 😩 I'm not ready to get older....
I'm a freshman this year
same😭
@@KramerJuliette same
Yo i hope you guys get to have a reunion with other senors so you don't miss anything and move on
I guess this is the 2020 senior anthem
and now 2021 too
Beautiful anthem it is
I’m a freshman but this still scares me only 3 more years 🙁 it all is going by so fast
Kylie Elizabeth cherish every moment of high school i didn’t and now i never get to go back
Same it’s going by so quickly
I'm a sophomore it's scary
Kylie Elizabeth I’m 2nd year soon to be 3rd year middle school haha
Kylie Elizabeth me too I’m actually super scared for what’s to come I have no idea what’s happening and me and my bestfriend have different plans for our futures and I’m not ready to separate any time soon
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.
I'll graduate at 17 due to how my birthday falls and I'm not ready :,)
The fact that hes singing fast in the chorus makes the song better because hes talking how fast growing up goes by🥺
Am I the only one watching this in 2024…….
No I am too
I'm really Not ready to get older 😔
But my childhood is over.......
"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
I'm 14 and I want to go back to primary school
I actually believe in this because when I was younger I dreamed of being a teenager at high school but now I would do anything just to live one day of my childhood life 😕🙁🙁
@@visionz8176 I WANNA STAY IN MIDDLE/ HIGH SCHOOL FOREVER MAN DIS IS SO HARD
Ikr. I always said how I hated being in school every day and wanted to leave so bad. Now I’d do ANYTHING to go back in time and stay there forever because I freaking miss the best friends I made and the memories we shared together 😭💔
I’m so happy to have figured it out while I am having these fantastic moments
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!
(this song is amazing) Wrote a bit of older but in the fathers POV:
I think you’re ready for the future
I think you’re smart but you just dont know, you
Are aware, and you’re alert
You make no excuse and
It's time to go, glad
You found an apartment
Now you’re free can we please get lunch, you’re
Missed can you come now
Wish time did slow down
I feel alone
Yeah, my parenthood is over
And I really should have told ya
Im missing, all the times, where you cried next to my shoulder
You’re my son, and you’re my treasure
loved your mom and you sure showed her
You are brave just like a soldier, think you’re ready to get older
Yeah, my parenthood is over
And I really should have told ya
Now don’t worry not the end , we'll get together next September
You’re my son, and you’re my treasure
loved your mom and you sure showed her
You are brave just like a soldier, think you’re ready to get older
Bum-ba-da-da-da-dum
Bum-ba-da-da-da-dum
Bum-ba-da-da-da-dum-dum-dum
this make me cry
GOOD DAD VIBES
Had a breakdown while listening. I’m a junior well was a junior this lockdown made my school fast forward our education we still doing junior work but they call us seniors so yeah my childhood is going to be gone in a year
I did too, i’m off to college in two months. I cried but it was more like happy tears because of how far i’ve gotten and how much i’ve overcome. Enjoy every moment, the good and the bad
I’m only 12, but this song has me crying. I love my life now. I do t want to grow up
Same 😞
Me too
like time *flys* by i wish i could just turn back time a couple of years and do something in the time i'm wasting
Personally, in about a year, I'll be starting high school, and it terrifies me. Time has been moving way to fast
@@Mushiruu_ I’m leaving high school in less then a year it’s scary
I’m a sophomore and I’m terrified. I want to go into psychology because I want to help people that deal with mental health issues. My parents want me to go into a field where math is required but I’m not gonna listen to them. I’m terrified of the future but I hope I can make it.
I believe in you 💝
you've got his!!
I'm relly not ready to get older but it's over i miss ma child hood
I guess I’m the outlier here, seeing as I’m seemingly older than most in the comments but I’ll tell you this song still hasn’t stopped being relatable. I think it could represent transitioning into any new stage of life. I was suppose to be graduating with my masters degree this May. I’ve hid from the big bad world (sort of) for so many years under school and it ended earlier than it was suppose to and threw me off. Now I’m heading into a life long career and it’s scary. I just want to be small and happy again.
OMG soo relatable. Hope you're doing good, wherever you are.
As a child; wants to grow up
As and teen|adult: wants to go back to the past and change everything you did so it wouldn’t be the way it is right now..
I like the song🥺
How did 7 people dislike this?? This is literally perfect
53
And they could be bots 🤖
Congratulations to the graduating class of 2020, we made it guys. We didn't get the graduation ceremony we were promised or our last prom, but I hope everyone is doing well at home. Stay strong♡
Is anyone else scared to grow up?
I’m not ready to go. High school. I’m not ready to have responsibilities. I don’t wanna let go. Everything’s going to change.
No ones probably gonna see this but I’m a 14 year old and gonna be a senior this year. I’m scared. I’m scared to go to college. I’ll be 15 and be starting life. I’m scared because my best friend is moving away to go to college somewhere back East. I’m torn between two worlds of friends in my class that’ll leave me and friends my age that I’ll have to leave. I’m not ready to get older, it’s so scary
I agree, the world is scary. And I have no advice to cheer you up, I’ll be honest. But I guess remember you’re definitely not alone.
I am just 16. I like popcorn and Disney's movies, I sing Barbie in my bedroom and I love chocolate and cakes, so I'm not ready to get older. I am not ready to future.
-> Sorry for my bad English, I am Brazilian.
Getting older could be enjoyable if you focus more on your health, slow down your mind and hopefully find someone you love who makes you happy
im just entering high school in 4 months but this scares me to death, my childhood is slipping through my fingers and there's nothing i can do about it, nothing at all, just have to grow up
It’s crazy how fast life goes. It literally feels like yesterday I was 12 and now I’m almost 18 🤯😭
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.
I just loss my mom. I’m 19 an only child & my father isn’t around. I had to grow up immediately. My childhood is officially over. I’ve been putting her stuff in boxes trying to get closure. It’s scary & I wasn’t ready. I’m not ready to be 20 & her not be here.
So sorry I’m an only child as well grew up with both my parents though they aren’t divorced they are separated. Hope you get through it though
Sorry Im 15 And I Can't Imagine My Life Without My Dad Step Dad And Mom And I Love Them All Equally Even If I Show Favoritism Time And Time Again
I'm so sorry for your loss, this comment was a year ago so you might not see this, but I hope you're doing better now, take care
I’m 16 graduating high school in a few weeks, this hits so hard because my childhood is already short, and now I don’t even get my last few months before growing up early
bruh I'm about to head to highschool next year and it literally feels like my childhood is being ripped away. Plus, lets face it, Corona has made us all a lot more mature. We aren't children anymore. Sucks to suck I guess🤷♀️
I just started my junior year of high school and im not ready. SAT, college, driving. Like my childhood is actually over
me too :( you're not alone
As a 13 year old, which I know is young compared to the rest of you, I started middle school and I'm looking at the future saying that I graduate in like 5 years.. I'm looking back to when I was in elementary school and I didn't have any worries about the future and I was just cruising through time... I'm worried about the future now :/
I'm only 13 and the world feels like its moving way to fast..
I dont wanna grow up..
I'm going to Neverland who's with me! 😁
This year I would make my education and I'm scared. I don't know what I would make, after school. I mean I am 15 and after school I would learn for my job.
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.
this song hits me right where it needs to, just turned 18 and i feel my life is falling apart
I’m only 12 and I’m crying over this song. Well not to mention I’m really sensitive, but I just don’t wanna grow up. Not only will me childhood and having absolute freedom and not have to pay anything. And not to mention friends, you’ll probably loose most of them as soon as you graduate and you’ll miss everyone. And you’ll miss everything..
You don't even know kid
Cherish your moments... you might lose touch with some friends after graduation, but spend that time and make memories with them now, after quarantine. Right now I’m missing the last moments I could be spending with my friends... cherish it. Don’t be scared, you’re young, make most of the years, they might fly but you’ll be ready
Wow. Most kids ur age are excited to grow up
I’m 13, and not ready for the world, terrified of most things, can’t even cry anymore for some reason, I wish I could. I would give a lot of things to just be able to cry when I was sad, but I can’t. I’m also insecure like a lot of other kids my age. I guess the world isn’t as forgiving as it seems when you’re little. I’m confused about everything and lost a lot of memories from my childhood and can’t even remember what I did the day before sometimes. I don’t know what I’m doing half the time I’m talking to people and I never know wether to believe people or not. And school is a whole other story.
i’m only 12 but i miss when i was younger so much and i don’t wanna be alive on this earth anymore with what’s happening
When I was 5 I got touch by my cousin tommy. 9-10 I got verbally abused by my step mom so it's very rare I get to be a kid
Remember when we were kids and just worring about losing our friends when we grow up
Worrying about having tons of homework
And most of all.....
Worrying about dying
I wish we had unlimited lives but live one life forever
I'm only 14 but I already wanna go back to primary school. I hate high school.
Im going to eighth, but it feels like just yesterday I was in third grade... wow
Ik most of the people are seniors and stuff but I’m a 13 year old freshman and this song gives me so much closure I’m terrified of growing up I get all panicky when high school even mentioned I start in 4 days and I don’t know how I’m going to deal I miss being young I just wanna stay in the days where school was easy and it was me an my mom
I just turned 17. I move out in a year. I graduate in 6 months. I’m packing my things as I listen to this and crying. I don’t want to grow up and leave this all behinf
Tomorrow I’ll be 21 but it still feels like I’m 15
Being almost 21 scares me. 30 is closer then 10 to me...😅
His songs are just very meaningful and I can't stop listening to them!
I found this song literally a month before my birthday. I was about to turn 20 and my birthday is on October 5th. So it rly hit hard. Thank u for this lovely song!
Today my sisters bf suffered from a seizure. My parents didn’t pick up their phones (walking the dog) and my sister was panicking. I’m in middle school and my sister is 19. I had to be the one that called 911... I’m not ready to get older
Good on you for doing it instead though. You must’ve been in such a panic. You seem more responsible than most middle schoolers. Keep it up and I wish you good luck in your life.
I found my old UA-cam channel I made when I was kid not knowing I would make a time capsule for myself to see. i was about 9 and I’m now 17 in my senior of high school and I’m bawling like a baby watching 9 year old me just being care free and being happy. There’s this video I made on this channel and it’s me at a bowling alley with my family and my brother. I miss those days so fucking much it makes so happy and sad at the same time but mostly sad tbh😭
As a senior this hits hard. My area went into the “yellow phase” of this damn virus so my friends that have also quarantined the whole time and I got together yesterday and hung out outside and today my family and our neighbors had a “party”. This sucks. I haven’t heard from the school I was planning on going to on what’s happening next year.
yo im either really bad at taking breaths in the chorus or hes super unique damn this song hits hard af im tryna learn this and might do a cover
Who's here after covid? 😭
As a junior in highschool this actually hits pretty hard. I know seniors actually have their future right around the corner but at my school at least junior is where you actually prepare for your future and apply to colleges and what not. It's just scary because I don't know what I actually want to do now that I'm at that threshold. And it feels like I have all these expectations like I have to learn how to drive and get a job and it's just a lot. And I know that other people are going through the exact same thing and it's not a unique problem by any means but it's still highly personal and it kinda sucks.
I'm 22 and I always thought by that time I will be much wiser and mature. I was wrong. I think the biggest illusion we create for ourselves is that when you grow up you magically know all the things you need to do as an adult. Unfortunately that's not how it works and I had to grow up to realize that. You need to experience it all first by trial and error. There's no ideal instruction and adults are as confused with life as younger people.
This song always makes me cry. I'm apart of the class of 2020. This is by far my favorite song
how's your life going now?
and now?
It’s weird. Just last year I was sitting listening to this song scared of the future cause I didn’t think I was ready for college. Now I’m lying in bed in my dorm room. Just finishing up my first week of classes. While it was scary, I guess I was ready. The change is, odd to say the least, but it’s what I needed. So if you are scared for the future. It’s okay to be nervous, just don’t let it hold you back from taking the next important step in your life. It’ll all work out.
*Edit*
So I came back to this song while I’m finishing up my first year of college. Still hits hard. Things will never feel like high school again. And that’s weird, but it’s a good weird. So much has happened in such a short amount of time. If sophomore me saw me now, they’d be absolutely shocked by how far we’ve come
I hate that I'm only 13 and relate to this. I'm going to miss all my friends in only a few months. If you guys see this, I love you 💕
Damm i cried while listening to this 😭 im not a senior, im a freshman or was but this got me 😭💔 i don't want to get older everything is going way to fast its like i was only a freshman for 2 months and that was it 🙁 like bruh 💔 im crying anybody else?
Yes people as you can see this was a demo only the og’s know
I remember me and my best friend crying and holding each other. While listening to this song on the morning of our graduation
IM SOBBING
can y'all recommend songs about not wanting to grow up like this song??
I’m only 13, but I’m still nervous being a teenager is alredy really hard and In 3 years I’m driving and that’s my worst fear and I’m just nervous I have one year till high school that’s real scary and I feel like they say high school is so much fun but I already have so many good freinds now and I’m nice and I’m freinds with so many pepole and it’s just like what if I’m just not cut out for it.
Sry for the tea spill just needed to get it out 😕
21 and graduating college in 2 years... to all my little high school kids out there, try to make the best of whatever childhood you have left, okay? it might be shitty but college is a new ball game, more freedom but less hand holding and guidance and you're left to make mistakes and try to carve a little place for yourself in the world... and also, do not go into college or high school thinking that those HAVE to be the best years of your life. if they are good, then good for you. if they are not, don't sweat it, the universe's got better plans for you, keep your heads up high :)
You sure because I’m going for a really hard time now Muray like seriously everyone Sofia is the best year of my GCSEs I’m 😊😊😊stressing
i’m scared for highschool since i’m becoming a freshman in september and idk what to do, i don’t even know what i wanna do with my life and it just keeps stressing me out and i know if i mess up itll be over so its just scary thinking in a few months i’m in highschool and basically my childhood is over
you still have a few years. this was my high school graduation year and i still don’t know what i want to do. i know it’s terrifying, but i promise you will get through it. wish you all the luck in life
I'm so sad about growing up because all my friends are either moving away, joining the military, or going to incredibly swamped with college. I'm just so scared I'll lose all my close friends. I'm not ready. Im graduating in a few weeks so I'm just now starting to feel everything. I'm so sad and scared. I'm not ready
It's Okay , you just enjoy new stuff it's not like all good things are from childhood you know , so many good things ahead to come😉 all the best to anyone who's reading this comment , enjoy your life don't look so much at the past❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for being such a wonderful person and putting this
Thank you so much you don't even know how much I needed this. you are wonderful and have a blessed life please❤️❤️❤️
maybe your right but i felt like life was a lot of better and simple. my mom said that last year was our last doing christmas things together bc me and my sibling is old now and i feel so sad thinking about how she said that 😢
I'm almost 19 and I'm a mom of 2. Me and my fiance have our own car and own place but I still can't help but feel sad. I need my mom. I feel like life is moving too fast. I'm happy though. I just feel like I'm losing everyone.
it sucks life sucks. I lost my mom two months ago. I miss her like hell. Worst part? i’m only 17. i’m not even an adult yet. she’s never gonna see me turn 18. she’s not gonna be here for when i become an adult. i don’t want to but i’m forced to grow up so fast. and i’m not ready. i just want my mom back. i just wanna be okay. she’s never gonna see my kids or meet my husband or wife or be at my wedding it hurts.😭😭😭💔💔💔💔

Hearing this for the first time at 13 im still young but im not a kid anymore....
I cried listening to this
13 is still a baby.. you feel like you dont have time i was the same way now i’m 20. you may be officially a teen now but your still a kid and have plenty of time really. 5 years is a long time so enjoy what you have enjoy middle school, enjoy highschool because it really does go fast like everyone says. i myself feel like a kid still so
your teen years are your best years so dont waste any time go out and hangout with friends, because memories to look back on is what matters the most, spending time with family and laughing about random stuff. the little moments matter the most im saying this because i didnt really get to enjoy being a teen due to social anxiety but please just do that because time goes fast bro
@@d3mon.from.h3ll76 thank you I'll try to but it'll be hard due to my own social anxiety
I’m 14 now and Damn, I remember when I used to play power rangers, Star Wars, classic ben 10, wwe and DAMNN my old wii man, oh and we can’t forget about my red Nintendo dsi, I could genuinely go in for ages but these were the first which popped into mind😢😢I went through my loft with my family and had to throw a couple of my old stuff away.. never been genuinely so hurt 😭😭throwing all them memories away 😪😪
Came back cause im graduating next week, class of 2021. Im scared an ill miss everyone an how things were. We made it.
We made it
Time flies so fast. Before, I was just concerned with the little things like what I would wear, how I could sneak to my friend's house without my parents making me sleep first in the afternoon. Now, I am just 19 but I feel like I am responsible for the future of our family.
I’m crying bc I move to college on Monday, and right now I’m packing my stuff
I hope you do ok, good luck!
This hits me cause I was 13 when covid hit and now I’m turning 16 this year and looking at colleges
I feel ya
I sent this to my boyfriend because this was his senior year and the right to graduate was taken from him, and I am beyond proud of what he’s accomplished, his parents unfortunately aren’t the nicest people in the world but, I’ll always be there for him
It shows that how fast time goes by
The kids born in 2014 are 7 years old
The time when we used to play till sunset has passed
The time smartphone wasn't so popular and we were just living in the moment was so precious
Our older siblings who were so iterating and annoying have somewhat matured
Our younger sibling who we remember as a baby or toddler have started school or is going to the next grade
The cartoons we used to watch were amazing no matter how much people say they were bad
We used to think that being 'older' means being able to do anything and never worry about someone telling you not to
But now we want to go back to being children because being kids means not to worry about the future but just live in the moment.....
......
It's kind of funny that I am talking like a 20 year old and actually I am just 13 years old
im not ready for the future. everytime someone asks me what i want to do when i grow up, i get this tight feeling in my chest. i never thought too far into the future because i always feel like my future self would probably kill herself before i get a chance to decide
I am still a young(ish) teen, but this still hits hard. I look back and remember the first day I walked into my brand new school. My little sister is going into middle school next year, while it fealt like she was just born. This song makes feel a lot older than I really am because it makes me look back at all of the memories I've made.
Everyone talking bout how they r grown up and how they r missing their childhood and stuff and I'm here
13 years old = I WANT TO GROW UP JUST TO LISTEN TO THIS SONG AND SAY I MISS MY CHILDHOOD
Me
I hate to say it but y’all really don’t wanna grow up. I’m a senior and would give anything to be a care free child again. Going outside to play tag with friends, not having a phone, and just being in the moment. Now I have to plan for college and get a job. I have to figure out my life now. I really do miss my early childhood.
I used to think the same when I was 13. I’m 17. Almost 18 and now I wish I could go back to being 13 😭. Honestly kinda scared for the future 😭
Emma Harris , not everyone had an a-ok childhood, some people want to grow up so they can leave all the awful things behind.
live ur childhood. don’t have the i wanna grow up mindset, it hits so much harder than it should when ur actually older bc then you wish u jus lived thru ur childhood instead of constantly thinking u wished u were grown already. i wish u nothing but the best thru these years
I’m 15 and it feels like I’m growing up to much
I literally graduated last week, and it feels surreal...like it was only yesterday I started High School and then the pandemic hit. Feel like I everything went by too fast...I feel like I still need to be in high school. My friends are all leaving to different places for school and I'm stuck here whether if I should go to college or not. Like Alec says: "I'm not ready to get older..."
This hits hard. As a kid I was always so exited to grow up and live my own life, but now, I just wish I was a kid again who had no problems😔
2 years ago I wouldn’t have understood this song- but now :( I wish I had my childhood back
I graduate in 13 days. What the hell.
nikita p is it 6 days now ☹️
Why the heck is this not on Apple Music ??
I’m gonna be a senior, but i still feel like a freshman. I’m not ready for responsibilities.
It was 20 seconds till 2023, I wanted to listen to an Alec Benjamin song when the clock struck 12:OO. Out of all of them I chose this one, I don’t regret it one bit
