[Intro: Ryan Met]
Ah, ah ah ah
Ah, ah ah ah
1-2-3-4
Ah, ah ah ah
1-2-3-4
Ah, ah ah ah
1-2-3-4

[Verse 1: Jack Met]
Have I done my best here, or
Will I be here next year, or
Are these my best years yet?
Was looking forward to
Being important but
I'm not important yet

[Chorus: Jack Met]
If you put this scene on a movie screen
Is it called a happy end?
If the work gets me where I'm supposed to be
Will I know I've made it then?
It's so hard
Can we skip to the good part?

[Post-Chorus: AJR]
Ah, ah ah ah
1-2-3-4
Ah, ah ah ah
1-2-3-4

[Verse 2: Jack Met]
If there's a good part then
I hope it's not far 'cause
I thought it'd be today
I napped on campus and
I smoked at dances but
It didn't feel so great

[Chorus: Jack Met]
If you put this scene on a movie screen
Is it called a happy end?
If the work gets me where I'm supposed to be
Will I know I've made it then?
It's so hard
So can we skip to the good part?

[Post-Chorus: AJR]
Ah, ah ah ah
1-2-3-4
Ah, ah ah ah
1-2-3-4 (So can we skip to the good part?)
Ah, ah ah ah (To the good part, to the good part)
1-2-3-4
Ah, ah ah ah (Woo, woo)
1-2-3-4
Ah, ah ah ah

[Outro: Jack Met]
These things take time
Mom and dad, they have a good life
But what am I gonna do with mine?
These things take time
Mom and dad, they have a good life
But what the hell am I gonna do with mine?

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.
