Older - Alec Benjamin

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

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

Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra

Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra

Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra

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

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

Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra

Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra

Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra

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

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

Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra

Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra

Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra

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
