Lyrics:
I've worn the same skinny jeans
Since I was fifteen
It's probably nothing
(Inertia)
My friends say they're quittin' this week
To chase down their dreams
They're probably bluffin' but

Don't you like it bigger, better, but you do what you can? (Do what you can)
Don't you like a little better when you don't understand? (Don't understand)
I was gonna save the planet, but today I got plans
I guess this is just what I am

I'm an object in motion, I've lost all emotion
My two legs are broken, but look at me dance
An object in motion, don't ask where I'm going
'Cause whеre I am goin' is right where I am (Oh, man)
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Whеre I am goin' is right where I am

(Inertia)
You said you'd break up with her
But she met your family
And dating's the worst, yeah
(Inertia)
Now, you're not in love anymore
But you'll stick it out
For, like, twenty years more, sayin', oh

Don't you like it bigger, better, but you do what you can? (Do what you can)
Don't you like a little better when you don't understand? (Don't understand)
I was gonna save the planet, but today I got plans
I guess this is just what I am

I'm an object in motion, I've lost all emotion
My two legs are broken, but look at me dance
An object in motion, don't ask where I'm going
'Cause where I am goin' is right where I am (Oh, man)
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Where I am goin' is right where I am (Oh, man)
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Where I am goin' is right where I am

(Inertia)
I wanna move out of this town
But everyone knows me
And packin' is tiring
(Inertia)
I said I would start workin' out
But I'm fuckin' hungry
And screw you, I'm tryin'
(Inertia)
I wanna be big like my plans
So why am I so tiny
And why am I so mad?
It's inertia (Inertia)
Guess this is just what I am
I'm stuck in this life
And I'm stuck in these pants

I'm an object in motion, I've lost all emotion
My two legs are broken, but look at me dance (Look at me dance)
An object in motion, don't ask where I'm going
'Cause where I am goin' is right where I am (Oh, man)
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah (Don't you like it bigger, better, but you do what you can?)
Where I am goin' is right where I am (Right where I am; oh, man)
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah (Don't you like a little better, but you do what you can?)
Where I am goin' is right where I am

Oh, inertia

The thing about AJR's music is that it can both make you have a mental breakdown with the lyrics and pull you out of it with the beat

2:46 When he said "☊⎍⍀⌇⟒ ⍜⎎ ⎐⏃⋏⟟⌇⊑⟟⟟⟟⟟⟟⟟⟟⟟⟟⟟⋏☌ ⏚⏃⋏⟒ ⍜⎎- ⏃⍀⏁⊑⍜⌿⍜⍜⍜⍜⎅⌇ ⎎⟟⍀⟒ ⏃⌇⌿⟒-⟒☊⏁ ⟟⟟ ⍀⟟⌿⏁⟟-⟟⎅⟒ ⟟⟟⟟ ☊⎍⍀⌇⟒ ⍜⎎ ⏚⟟⟟⟟⋏⎅⟟⟟⟟⟟⋏☌, ⎎⟒⏃⏁⊑⟒⍀ I felt that

[Pyre]

The song is about being trapped in how your life currently is.

The video is about saying 'screw that'. And emphasizing that the song is actually about that too. Because the state of heading towards better can be where you are.

And that's pretty awesome.

[Hibernalz]

AJR's songs are unique in a way I can't explain. It's like their own gerne.

[tbonetomyt]

AJR doesn't fail to make songs that are loved worldwide while being made in a couple of weeks. I'm pretty new to AJR and I already listen to their songs whenever I open up spotify. Thank you AJR for making the best songs! ❤

[teakryn]

I am blown away by this video. the song on its own continuously knocks my socks off, and this video truly shows how much talent you three possess

[Narinder]

Inertia: An object’s resistance to change.

This is so creative.

[PandaSwordsman]

"I'm an object of motion" "My two legs are broken but look at me dance" "Don't ask where I'm going cause where I am going is right where I am" all the characters are unmoving and AJR stay in one place "dancing". Masterpiece.

[natevankirk]

Gives me magic school bus vibes for some reason. I dig it!

[ToadTWE]

Didn’t expect to have a new music video drop today, but I’m happy nonetheless. Easily one of the best songs on the album

[JurassicTheory]

Love this song! One of my favorites from the album. Thank you for giving us “The Maybe Man”, AJR! 😊

[Alt]

3:20 the absolute explosion of music and that slightly soft chorus tingling the ears, only AJR can pull out such melodious beauty

[is_Spicy]

I can't wait to hear this song in the Maybe Man Tour, It's amazing to see how far and diverse these artists truly are. What a masterpiece.

[emileighkleps]

I usually never comment, but I can not describe how much I love this song and can relate to it. After graduating college, my plans have all been turned upside-down, and this song really encapsulates all the emotions I have been feeling lately. Seeing so many other people relate makes it feel like I'm not so alone❤️

[EdwardFairweather]

I had an exam yesterday that asked what was Newton’s first law of motion and my brain answered “an obeject in motion I’ve lost all emotion my two legs are broken…”

[Laaance]

Me encanta saber que cada vez hay más personas de diferentes países escuchando estos temazos
Los amo muchachos ❤

[IsabellyButton]

This is one of my favorite songs from the new Album. I can't wait to dance my heart out to it at the concert. I love you guys so much. Never stop making these super relatable fun songs.

On another note, did anyone else love to imagine themselves when y'all were kids doing a bunch a stuff like jumping in a sink or fish tank if you became extremely tiny or was it just me? 😅

[bitofalice]

One of your best yet, every album has been fantastic <3

[Swirl-iwpt]

There is someone very close to me who has this song as their favorite. I would set the world on fire for them if they asked me to, and when they told me this was their favorite because of how close it was to their life, I wanted to hug them and never let go. I love them dearly, more than they could ever know, and I'm glad that AJR has been there to help them through life. I'm glad to met him and be there for him when I can

[svejobaron]

inertia is a great way to describe my life... cant start what I want to do and cant stop doing what I dont want to do.
