[Verse 1]
I've been thinking 'bout the way you'll think about me when we're o-o-old
Always thought that we could be the greatest story ever to-o-old
But there's a rock inside my sock, I'll keep on walking 'cause it's co-o-old
And I can't stop the clock from ticking
I know that it's just the beginning

[Chorus]
Don't forget, this story's not over yet
Time passed like a cigarette
Turning into smoke between our fingers
Tell me you won't forget
Remember the night we met
Rewind like an old cassette
And I'll be the song that's on your speakers playing for you, you, you
Playing for you, you, you
I'll be playing for you, you, you
And I'll be the song that's on your speakers

[Verse 2]
I often wonder why I wonder how I'll feel in 30 years
About the time we spent together will the memories disappear
It might sound crazy but my baby that's the thing that I most fear
Oh, I can't stop the world from spinning
I know that it's just the beginning
So please-

[Chorus]
Don't forget, this story's not over yet
Time passed like a cigarette
Turning into smoke between our fingers
Tell me you won't forget
Remember the night we met
Rewind like an old cassette
And I'll be the song that's on your speakers playing for you, you, you
Playing for you, you, you
I'll be playing for you, you, you
And I'll be the song that's on your speakers

[Bridge]
And if one day the image starts to fade
Don't worry babe, oh that would be okay
I'll give you all the memories that I saved
Just leave me with a picture, just a picture of your face

[Chorus]
I won't forget, this story's not over yet
Time passed like a cigarette
Turning into smoke between our fingers
Tell me you won't forget
Remember the night we met
Rewind like an old cassette
And I'll be the song that's on your speakers playing for you, you, you
Playing for you, you, you
Playing for you, you, you
And I'll be the song that's on your speakers
Playing for you

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.”
