[Verse 1]
I didn't know her, couldn't hold her
Bones didn't settle in
She's gotta have it, gotta have it
Oh, with her hipster friends

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh oh, she's the rough and the rowdiest kid
Oh oh, and there's more where she lives

[Chorus]
And why should I spend time running for my life?
And when the skies are open, we'll still be singing this
I know they're coming for me, we're not the pitchfork kids
Oh oh, it's the loneliest life that we live
Oh oh, we're not running with the pitchfork kids

[Verse 2]
The moon is upon us, gaining on us
She's crossed there, to stay
We had to part, couldn't break her heart 'cause their blood pumps through her veins

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh oh, she's the rough and the rowdiest kid
Oh oh, and there's more where she lives

[Chorus]
And why should I spend time running for my life?
And when the skies are open, we'll still be singing this
I know they're coming for me, we're not the pitchfork kids
Oh oh, it's the loneliest life that we live
Oh oh, we're not running with the pitchfork kids

[Outro]
And why should I spend time running for my life?
It's the loneliest life that we live
We're not running with the pitchfork kids
And when the skies are open, we'll still be singing this
I know they're coming for me, we're not the pitchfork kids
Oh oh, it's the loneliest life that we live
Oh oh, we're not running with the pitchfork kids

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.
