AJR

I know I'm not your typical boy
I know I'm not your typical boy
But you ain't so typical yourself, you know (woah)
But none of it will last
When I think about the past and how we were such good friends
Oh, but all I do is cry when I think about "goodbye"
Because everyone deserves a second chance

There's a reason why I always look away
When you're talking bout' the boys that take your breath away
Let me live inside her arms
And let me tell her one more time
That she's the only one
She completes my very first love song

I know you've heard it all before
(I mean) How cliche to write a song
Bout' the girl that keeps you strong, and I
I know I'm not your first choice
But it's not the time I hear you say
"I never liked you in that way"

Oh, but none of it will last
When I think about the past and how we were such good friends
Oh, but all I do is cry when I think about "goodbye"
Because everyone deserves a second chance

There's a reason why I always look away
When you're talking bout' the boys that take your breath away
Let me live inside her arms
And let me tell her one more time
That she's the only one
She completes my very first love song

She's the one I'm thinking of
And worst of all, I think I'm in love
Kyra was the kind of girl who understands
Just what you meant
She leaves me stumbling to go back and try again (woah)

There's a reason why I always look away
When you're talking bout' the boys that take your breath away
Let me live inside her arms
And let me tell her one more time
That she's the only one
She completes my very first love song
I know I'm not your typical boy

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.
