If You Were MeAJR

Look in my eyes
Tell me what you see
What works for you just may not work for me
I tell you one thing that I know
That it's a long long time before you have to grow
The way I've grown

And if you were me
Which I'm sure you'd love to be
I can tell by your expression that you're scared
And if I were you
All the things that I could do
You can tell by my expression that I never would have to

Cause' we all have little secrets
That keep us hiding in your bed
Nothing's sold for free
If you were me

One is worse enough when you're all alone
Two can be much better when you're here and gone
I take it down I take it slow
I take it all the way to places that you never dreamed to know

The pretzel complained till' the chorus sets him straight
And who would Ashley be without her Mary Kate
You never know until you try
You'll never understand the reasons that I cried
The way I cried

And if you were me
Which I'm sure you'd love to be
I can tell by your expression that you're scared
And if I were you
All the things that I could do
You can tell by my expression that I never would have to

Cause' we all have little secrets
That keep us hiding in your bed
Nothing's sold for free
If you were me

If you were me
Which I'm sure you'd love to be
I can tell by your expression that you're scared
And if I were you
All the things that I could do
You can tell by my expression that I'm scared

And if I were you
All the things that I could do
You can tell by my expression that I never would have to

Cause' we all have little secrets
Keep us hiding in your bed
Oh, Nothing's sold for free
If you were me

AJR

The indie-pop band AJR—three brothers born and raised in New York City—achieved a startlingly quick level of success with 2013 track “I’m Ready", a buoyant electro-pop smash that was featured in the trailer for Amy Schumer’s Trainwreck and became certified US Platinum in 2015.

Adam Met (bass/vocals), is the oldest brother, a Columbia University graduate. Ryan Met (ukulele/piano/vocals), a bespectacled ‘94 kid is the band’s main songwriter, also having co-written Andy Grammer hits “Back Home” and the certified gold “Good To Be Alive”. Jack Met (vocals/guitar), is the lead vocalist who splits time between the band and attending Columbia.

AJR began in 2005, busking on the streets and in the parks of New York. Raised on vinyls from the 50s and 60s, AJR was initially inspired by the likes of The Beach Boys and Frankie Valli, but the original sound they’ve now created resembles a modern mix of those classic sounds, with flavors of Imagine Dragons, fun., and hip-hop production elements pointing towards Kanye West.
