[Verse 1]
Oh father, father, I'm a dreamer (a dreamer)
We dream of green, but now we're gray
Up on a hill, down by the river
That river took my girl away

[Pre-Chorus]
And I wonder, is something in the water make me wanting more?
Make me wanting more
A heartbreak and a hundred red balloons
Now I'm off the floor
So here I go

[Chorus]
I'm coming up, it might be my calling, my calling
I'm coming up, it might be my time
I'm taking off, you might say I'm all in, I'm all in
I'll send a postcard from the sky

[Post-Chorus]
My calling, my calling
My calling, my calling

[Verse 2]
Oh, Cleopatra was a lover
But this world of mine is turning green
I'm sailing by the clouds above her
I'm finding out what all this means

[Pre-Chorus]
And I wonder, is something in the water make me wanting more?
Make me wanting more
A heartbreak and a hundred red balloons, now I'm off the floor
So here I go

[Chorus]
I'm coming up, it might be my calling, my calling
I'm coming up, it might be my time
I'm taking off, you might say I'm all in, I'm all in
I'll send a postcard from the sky

[Bridge]
My calling, my calling
My calling, my calling
My calling, my calling
My calling, my calling
My calling, my calling

[Pre-Chorus]
And I wonder, is something in the water make me wanting more?
Make me wanting more
A heartbreak and a hundred red balloons, now I'm off the floor
So here I go

[Chorus]
I'm coming up, it might be my calling, my calling
I'm coming up, it might be my time
I'm taking off, you might say I'm all in, I'm all in
I'll send a postcard from the sky

[Outro]
My calling, my calling
My calling, my calling

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.
