[Verse 1: Jack]
Was it all in my head?
In an empty bed
And I told you that I need you
Baby, can't you see I'm alone?
Oh, oh
I was lost in my feet
On an empty street
So I save your seat, infinity
Forever figures 5 and 3
You know, oh oh

[Pre-Chorus 1: Ryan]
Cross my heart and hope to die
Stick a needle in my eye
My mama says to pick the best
And you are it

[Chorus: Jack]
Hey!
All our trouble's gone
Like when we were young
Take me back to where we all began
Here we are again like we should've been
Oh my lady, can I have this dance?
My lady
Hey!
All our troubles gone
Like when we were young
Take me back to where we all began

[Verse 2: Adam]
Was it hard to believe?
Wear your heart on my sleeve
And I'll hold you when you're lonely
When you're cold cause you're the only girl for me

[Pre-Chorus 2: Ryan]
Cross my heart and hope to die
Since you came into my life
My mama says to pick the best
And you are it

[Chorus: Jack]
Hey
All our trouble's gone
Like when we were young
Take me back to where we all began
Here we are again like we should've been
Oh my lady can I have this dance?
My lady
Hey
All our troubles gone
Like when we were young
Take me back to where we all began

[Chorus]
Oh, Hey
All our trouble's gone
Like when we were young
Take me back to where we all began
Here we are again, like we should've been
Oh my lady, can I have this dance?
Hey
All our trouble's gone
Like when we were young
Take me back to where we all began
Here we are again, like we should've been
Oh my lady, can I have this dance?
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Hey
All our troubles gone
Like when we were young
Take me back to where we all began

[Outro: All]
Cross my heart and hope to die
Since you came into my life
My mama says to pick the best
And you are it

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.
