47 AJR Lyrics That Will Change Your Life

In This Article:

In honor of the release of AJR's newest album, "Neotheater", I've compiled a list of some of the most eloquent, clever, and just downright mind-boggling lyrics in the history of AJR. Please enjoy, and if you've never heard an AJR song, please rethink your musical tastes.

All our troubles gone / Like when we were young / Take me back to where we all began / Here we are again / Like we should've been / Oh my lady, can I have this dance? - Infinity

And I wonder, is something in the water making wanting more? / Make me wanting more / A heartbreak and a hundred red balloons / Now I'm off the floor - My Calling​

Let's toast the ones who got away / Three cheers for what we didn't say / Well, if it matters / Here's some flowers / Cause we're livin' on love / Let's toast to everything we've got / Let's dance for everything we're not - Livin' On Love

It's bullshit and we know it / Like a flower sheltered in stone / With no chance of regrowing - The World Is A Marble Heart

Good music's still good / Even if no one is watching - Big Idea

We will learn from the giants / Before the giants learn from them - The Green And The Town

A year from now, we won't be lovers / We'll just be suits and ties and shoes / And we will grow without our parents / Cause soon we will be giants too - The Green And The Town

I've seen almost every side of the industry / Except the one we've been working seven years to see / Just some kids with pro tools a mic and a big idea, but no IDs - Big Idea

 You cannot rush / What can't be timed - Growing Old On Bleecker Street

 Sometimes I wonder if we matter at all / If we're not written down / Who will remember now? - Growing Old On Bleecker Street

If the world gets me, where I'm s'posed to be / Will I know I've made it, then? / It's so hard / So can we skip to the good part? - The Good Part

Mom and Dad, they have a good life / But what the hell am I gonna do with mine? - The Good Part

My habits, they hold me like a grudge / I promise I won't budge - Weak

Won't you help me sober up? Growing up, it made me numb / And I just wanna feel something again - Sober Up

My favorite color is you / You're vibrating at my frequency - Sober Up

Recently he said that she said that we said some shit that you wouldn't believe / Recently he said that she said that we said that he said some shit about me - Drama 

I grew up on Disney / But this don't feel like Disney / You say I turned out fine / I think I'm still turning out - Turning Out

I'm a little kid, and so are you / Don't you go and grow up before I do / I'm a little kid with so much doubt / Do you wanna be there to see how I turn out? -Turning Out

I'm not narcissistic / I'm just high off the music / And I don't wanna miss it / But I wouldn't stop you - No Grass Today

 Listen to my aching heart / Quick, before you skip the song / We are human after all / And we don't stay for long - Three-Thirty

 Someone told me to be selfless / But we are helpless / Without attention

 I feel so broke up / I wanna go home - Call My Dad

 It don't matter what my name is / I don't got one I'm not famous, no / And I don't hate it, no / You never heard of me / Or the weird shit I do and say / That's my favorite thing / That I'm not famous, no - I'm Not Famous

 Who I am is in these episodes / So don't tell me that it's just a show - Netflix Trip

 Way up, way up, way up to the moon / Boy it's good to know I got a bud like you - Bud Like You

 Should I go for more clicks this year? / Or should I follow the click in my ear? - Come Hang Out

 And all my friends say come hang out / Cause you're outta your mind / You're working so damn hard / You forgot what you like / And come hang out / Don't you leave us behind / But I'll be there next time - Come Hang Out

 Should I hang my head low? / Should I bite my tongue? Or should I march with every stranger from Twitter to get shit done? - Burn the House Down

 Can I truly love the art when I hate the artist? / But, all my role models are on TV for the wrong reasons - Role Models

 Is it normal to stand here and wish that I was back at home? / Is it normal to tell her I can't be normal anymore? - Normal

 Oh, I'm insecure, I'm insecure / I think I like what I'm supposed to - Pretender 

I wanna be next up forever / Find a way to never hit my peak - Next Up Forever

I know I gotta grow up sometime / But I'm not fuckin' ready yet - Next Up Forever

I bet it's always gonna stay this fun / I bet it's easy staying away from drugs / I bet our parents always stay in love - Birthday Party

We had to work a bit more hard / Only just to get a little bit less far - 100 Bad Days 

Maybe a hundred bad days made a hundred good stories / A hundred good stories make me interesting at parties - 100 Bad Days

Oh no, don't throw out my Legos / What if i cant let go? / What if i come back home? Back home? / Can we keep my Legos at home? / Cause I wanna move out I don't wanna move on - Don't Throw Out My Legos

What doesn't kill you / Makes you ugly / Life gives you lemons / At least it gave you something - Break My Face

I think I probably wasn't in love with you / I think I probably loved the idea of you - Turning Out, Pt. ii

Is this all that life's about? / Trying to love how you turn out? / I don't love it much at all - Turning Out, Pt. ii

 You wonder what they did before inventing the phone / Yeah how could anyone face the quiet alone - The Entertainment's Here

 I've been so good, I've been workin' my ass off / I've been so good, still I'm lonely and stressed out / I've been so good, I've been so good this year / I've been so good but it's still getting harder, I've been so good where the hell is the karma? - Karma

 The universe works in mysterious ways / But I'm starting to think it ain't workin' for me - Karma

 And every star / That I used to mock / Was probably paid / Am I the same? - Beats

 Yeah, I'm not sick / I'm just kinda different / Oh different, so different / They tell us to be different / But no one told me I could go too far - Wow, I'm Not Crazy

 But dear Winter / I hope you like your name / I'm hoping that someday, I can meet you on this Earth / But shit, I gotta meet your mom first - Dear Winter

 They wanted heaven from me / I gave 'em hell / Now they want something bigger - Finale (We Can't Wait To See What You Do Next)

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

"I don't want to do things. I want to do not things."

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
