AJR - Yes I’m A Mess (Official Visualizer)

Connect with AJR:

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

WE MAKIN IT OUT OF THE THERAPIST'S OFFICE WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥

[mrdansings]

This song will never leave my head… it’s SOOO catchy!!

[livelife]

AJR's Motto: Life is the greatest clusterfuck but there's still beauty sprinkled within the chaos

[AIexL]

man, ajr is the definition of when your happy you listen to the music and when your sad you listen to the lyrics

[Charliehaspawss]

saw them live in vegas a few years ago. probably one of the best experiences of my life. they’re probably some of the most enthusiastic, friendly and upbringing musicians out there. they interacted with the crowd, told stories, and danced while we cheered along. godspeed, guys. never stop.

[caleanwatts]

Been listening to yall for 10 years now, I was 11 when i heard infinity and now I'm 21, growing with the tunes is truly beautiful

[halex]

Can we just appreciate how real AJR keeps their lyrics? They don't write songs exclusively about over-saturated topics like romance, money, etc and they always try to tell stories through their songs. I love that about their music. The fact the rest of the song as well as the lyrics is an absolute banger helps too.

[DaylinsFunhouse]

Can't wait for The Maybe Man to drop 🔥🔥🔥

[leo-umpj]

thanks mark rober for showing a godly song

[sillosybin]

This song couldn't have come at a more appropriate time, thank you AJR for keeping things in perspective n reminding us we're not alone

[tammywhitson]

My favorite thing about AJR is they write about life: those tough feelings you wouldn't think would emerge in a song but AJR knows how to do it perfectly


I like myself like this

[borbzaby]

Woke up to this. Can’t wait for the album. Great job!

[wendy]

Something on my bucket list is to go to an AJR concert! Your songs are just so good!

[Ustral]

Next Up Forever: You’ll make it so damn big for all the world to see!
Yes I’m a mess: *Is literally big for all the world to see*

[Icseca]

Last transition is insane 2:21
🔥🔥🔥
No words of AJR's creativity.

[willsolacethesunshineboy]

how do I always relate to all of your songs?? literally every line, oh my god, you guys are the reason why I'm still alive, I met you guys on tour and gave you socks that I knitted and fanart that I spent hours on, and you guys loved it all and made my whole existence, I owe so much to you guys, thank you, thank you so much. I especially relate to all the new songs, God Is Really Real makes me cry so hard because last year I lost my grandfather, and he was more of a father figure to me than my actual father was in some ways, so I feel your pain. I'm so sorry you guys had to go through that, I'm sending virtual hugs <3

[Littlekidlover]

I’ve been in a really tough spot. This is exactly what I needed you guys really lift my spirits

[resonanceamplitude]

Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s 3’O’CLOCK in this time zone, and AJR has casually dropped a BANGer once again, BURNing the house down cuz it’s 🔥 Keep on being a “mess”, guys❤

[mylowe]

I think this is one of my favorite AJR songs. It hits hard like "Weak" and "Bang". Those hefty drums and the bubble pop sound affect that travels from ear to ear. Perfection, Boys. You've done it again.
