[Intro: Jack Met]
Okay!
Ah, ah, ah

[Verse 1: Jack Met]
You run your mouth, your tongue fell out
It's right there on the ground
But now, you'll never drown
You can't, you got no mouth
So it ain't all bad now

[Pre-Chorus: Jack Met]
What doesn't kill you makes you ugly
Life gives you lemons
At least it gave you something

[Chorus: Jack Met]
Okay!
So if I break my face, and I don't look so great
My face is just my face (My face)
Okay!
So if I break my face, it ain't my darkest day
My face is just my face, I'm okay

[Post-Chorus: Jack Met]
Ah, ah, ah

[Verse 2: Jack Met]
You roll your eyes a hundred times
At every phony lie, are your eyes okay?
They rolled away, right down the interstate
But at least you can't cry today

[Chorus: Jack Met]
Okay!
So if I break my face, and I don’t look so great
My face is just my face
Okay!
So if I break my face, it ain’t my darkest day
My face is just my face, I’m okay

[Post-Chorus: Jack Met]
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah

[Bridge: Jack Met]
What doesn't kill you makes you ugly
Life gives you lemons
At least it gave you something
What doesn't kill you (What doesn't kill you)
Makes you ugly (Makes you ugly)
Life gives you lemons
At least it gave you something

[Chorus: Jack Met]
Okay!
So if I break my face, and I don't look so great
My face is just my face (My face)
'Cause everything is going great
So if I break my face, it ain't my darkest day
My face is just my face, I'm okay

[Outro: Jack Met]
Ah, ah, ah
I'm okay
At least it gave you something
Ah, ah, ah
At least it gave you something

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.
