[Verse 1]
I got a dog
And my dog can dance
Just not in public
And not with my friends

I got a girl
And she’s twenty eight
Now I’m the coolest guy
In all of eighth grade

I know a kid
That you never met
His dad is rock star
We smoked in his van

I know a trick
Do you wanna see
I can be anything
That I pretend to be

[Chorus]
We’ll get outta this
We’ll get outta this too
I’m not proud of this
But I’m not proud of the truth
And if you run from me
Then I’ll use my trick on you
The truth is that I’m screwed

[Verse 2]
I went to France
And danced in the rain
Then told you all about it
On our first date

My dad doesn’t lie
So you can’t meet my dad
Cause you fell in love
With the me that went to France

[Chorus]
We’ll get outta this
We’ll get outta this too
I’m not proud of this
But I’m not proud of the truth
And if you run from me
Then I’ll use my trick on you
The truth is that we’re screwed

[Outro]
We’ll get out of this
Cause I love you I do
We’ll get out of this
Cause I love you it’s true
And if you’re doubting this
If you’re doubting that I do
Then oh my god I’m screwed

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.
