[Intro]
Your eyes are open, so never close them
You'll sail the ocean, finding where you should be
And if you're broken, you'll make your own thing
You'll make it so big for all the world to see
You'll make it so damn big for all the world to see

[Verse 1: Jack Met]
I'm kinda scared to drop this album
Let's push it back another week
I wanna be next up forever
Find a way to never hit my peak
I kinda wish I was still a virgin
Dying to finally see what sex is like
I wanna be next up forever
Forever, I'll be second in line

[Chorus: Jack Met]
Someday, they'll be talking about me
Right now, they're just walking around me
My God, are you growing without me?
Somebody, help me (Somebody, help me)
Someday, they'll be talking about me
Right now, they're just walking around me
My God, are you growing without me?
Somebody, help me (Somebody, help me)

[Verse 2: Jack Met]
This is my imagination
This is how it looks and sounds
But I gotta go so much bigger
So they can never shut me down
I'm kinda scared of graduation
'Cause who am I when this is done?
I wanna be next up forever
So the best is always yet to come

[Chorus: Jack Met]
Someday, they'll be talking about me
Right now, they're just walking around me
My God, are you growing without me?
Somebody, help me (Somebody, help me)
Someday, they'll be talking about me
Right now, they're just walking around me
My God, are you growing without me?
Somebody, help me (Somebody, help me)

[Bridge: Jack Met]
I gotta go so much bigger
So everybody’s proud of me
Welcome to the Neotheater
Won't everybody take their seats?
And I'll be next up forever
'Cause I don't know what's coming next
I know I gotta grow up sometime
But I don't think I'm ready yet

[Outro: Jack Met]
I know I gotta grow up sometime
But I'm not fucking ready yet
Your eyes are open, so never close them
You'll sail the ocean, finding where you should be
And if you're broken, you'll make your own thing
You'll make it so big for all the world to see
You'll make it so damn big for all the world to see

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.
