[Adam, Jack, and Ryan: Verse]
The rain outside is pouring
I shred the last of the photographs
[Jack]
C-C-Curlin’ up on the sofa
[Adam and Ryan]
P-P-Puts the Saturday night to rest

[Adam or Ryan]
I’ve been searchin’ for something
To make me change up my mind

[Adam or Ryan: Pre-Chorus]
I know the time has come
We’re marchin’ to a different drum
We gotta move while we’re still young
We’re dancin’ ’til we drop

[Adam or Ryan: Chorus]
The song starts when I drop by
I know we’re not the crazy kind of guys
You just need a [?] to twist and shout
[Adam, Jack, and Ryan]
It’s our time
Come on out

[Adam or Ryan]
The song starts when I drop by
I know we’re not the crazy kind of guys
You just need a [?] to twist and shout
[Adam, Jack, and Ryan]
It’s our time
Come on out

[Adam, Jack, and Ryan: Post-Chorus]
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city (Hey)
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city (We will!)
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city
Rock, rock this city
Rock, rock this city

(Let’s go)

[Adam or Ryan: Verse]
I’ve been searchin’ for something
[Jack]
Something bigger than you and me
[Adam]
I-I-I know you were
[Adam, Jack, and Ryan]
Faking, mistaking, breaking, taking
Thank god it’s a Saturday

[Adam or Ryan]
No, it can’t be denied
[Adam, Jack, and Ryan]
The beat is getting high

[Adam, Jack, and Ryan: Pre-Chorus]
My, I know the time has come
We’re marchin’ to a different drum
We gotta move while we’re still young
We’re dancin’ ’til we drop

[Adam or Ryan: Chorus]
The song starts when I drop by
I know we’re not the crazy kind of guys
You just need a [?] to twist and shout
[Adam, Jack, and Ryan]
It’s our time
Come on out (Woo!)

[Adam or Ryan: Chorus]
The song starts when I drop by
I know we’re not the crazy kind of guys
You just need a [?] to twist and shout
[Adam, Jack, and Ryan]
It’s our time
Come on out

[Adam, Jack, and Ryan: Post-Chorus]
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city (Hey)
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city (We will!)
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city
Rock, rock this city
Rock, rock this city

(Rock, rock this city)

(Rock, rock this city)

[Adam or Ryan: Bridge]
Subway rumble
A rolling timpani
Blaring cellos
A perfect symphony

Hmm, yeah

[Jack]
Oh, yeah

[Adam and Jack: Pre-Chorus]
I know the time has come
We’re marchin’ to a different drum
We gotta move while we’re still young
We’re dancin’ ’til we drop

I know the time has come
We’re marchin’ to a different drum
We gotta move while we’re still young
We’re dancin’ ’til we drop

I know the time has come
We’re movin’ up with AJR!
We gotta move while we’re still young
We’re dancin’ ’til we drop

[Jack]
Cuz you c-c-can’t disagree with the NYC

[Adam, Jack, and Ryan: Chorus]
The song starts when I drop by
I know we’re not the crazy kind of guys
You just need a [?] to twist and shout
It’s our time
Come on out

[Chorus:]
The song starts when I drop by
I know we’re not the crazy kind of guys
You just need a [?] to twist and shout
It’s our time
Come on out

[Adam, Jack and Ryan: Post-Chorus]
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city (Hey)
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city (We will!)

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.
