Lyrics:
I leave my house at 3 o’ clock
With 200 texts and 2 missed calls
Guess all of the friends that I pissed off
All talked

And I took a job for just July
But feels like I might be here for life
Yeah I’m in it now
I’m in it now
Could I start again, somehow?

Yes I’m a mess with an S on my chest
Got stress filling up my head
So I spent last night
Blowing up my life
Now you won’t see me again

Cheers to the front and cheers to the back
And cheers to the 2010s
I could hate my guts
When the sun comes up
But I like myself like this
I like myself like this

Why should I fix the shit I’ve done
When I could just pack my shit and run
Delete every number from my phone
So long

Yeah I’ll get new shirts cause mine all stink
And I’ll tell my boss what I really think
Yeah I’m in it now
I’m in it now
Could I start again, somehow?

Yes I’m a mess with an S on my chest
Got stress filling up my head
So I spent last night
Blowing up my life
Now you won’t see me again

Cheers to the front and cheers to the back
And cheers to the 2010s
I could hate my guts
When the sun comes up
But I like myself like this
I like myself like this

Yes I’m a mess with an S on my chest
So I spent last night
Blowing up my life
Now you won’t see me again

Yes I’m a mess with an S on my chest
I could hate my guts
When the sun comes up
But I guess that’s what this is
I like myself like this

I could hate my guts
When the sun comes up
But I like myself like this

I don't know how to explain that this video almost perfectly encapsulates AJR's music in a way.

[torrikusotaru]

I don't think anyone could purposefully and methodically plan out a music video better than how this one turned out!
At least when it comes to the sheer, raw *'fuck it we ball'* energy of it all-
-and it's beautiful.

[JamescraftAim]

Gives me so many "Im not famous" vibes and I love it.
The fact it goes from just some cool fun shots to a bit of a story is really cool to me.

[indigopruett]

elmo runnin from the police has me ROLLING

[whitetshirtdraws]

This literally feels like the most AJR thing they could have done with this, and I’m so here for it

[iceyfoxplayz]

Not only are they relatable by singing about mental health issues and how depressive life is, they also relate to all of our secret dreams about running around in an Elmo onesie.

[albusnevermore]

This is AJR and it will never ever change how amazing they are!

[Sans-bz]

2:20 I love the kids faces when he jumps over the thingy

also the tree was like INSTANT KARMA! LBOZO 😂😂

[Neotheaterr]

Only AJR could get away with doing something like this, let alone doing it so well lol. This is better than most high-budget music videos that others make

[NoteBlockMatt]

This is unironically way better than most high budget music videos. Good call.

[noellesimons]

This entire video sums up the reason why I love AJR. They’re so fun and real and unapologetic.

[thatweirdeditor]

Imagine meeting Elmo like this then realising it was AJR and you missed a huge opportunity 😂

[warcatfureverwriteroffanfic]

This is the best way to explain AJR’s vibe. This is just who they are lmao. And I love it. 😂

[hdsn_music]

It’s crazy how far AJR has come from making music in there living room to performing in front of thousands of people! ❤

[tanman]

I absolutely love AJR! Their unique blend of genres, clever lyrics, and infectious energy make them stand out in the music industry. Every song feels like a journey, and their authenticity shines through.

[rolanslide]

"Yeah I'm in it now" (zoom in on Elmo handcuffed on the side of the road)
that's art right there

[nazar]

Jack running and dancing in New York dressed as Elmo, simply phenomenal. I already have hundreds of reasons to love this band and this would definitely be one of them

[hannahs]

I love AJR because of how real and unapologetically themselves they are, and this video is that to a T. The second Maybe Man drops I’m gonna be blasting it on loop to get ready for the next concert. ❤

[RealKellinQuinn]

No one could have expected this and that’s why it’s so amazing. You can’t predict their lyrics. You can’t predict their music videos. And you can’t not love them 🫶

[julianatracy]

"911, what's your emergency?"
"Umm there is an elmo walking down newyork"
"A what?"
"An elmo"
