AJR - Don't Throw Out My Legos (Official Audio)

Check us out everywhere online @AJRBrothers

Lyrics:

My new address
Is hard to remember
So I wrote it on the back of my hand
‘Cause I leave the nest
This coming December
To make it as a grown man
I’m ‘bout to lose
My only defenders
I’m packing up whatever I can

Been waiting for today but
All I can think to say is

Oh, no
Don’t throw out my Legos
What if I can’t let go
What if I come back home
Back home
Oh, no
Don’t throw out my Legos
What if I can’t 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

People want shirts
With the band name on it
Suddenly we ain’t so bad
Saved up enough
To rent an apartment
Far away from mom and dad
My Christmas card
Looks like a mugshot
‘Cause suddenly I’m getting sad
Been waiting for today but

All I can think to say is

Oh, no
Don’t throw out my Legos
What if I can’t let go
What if I come back home
Back home
Oh, no
Don’t throw out my Legos
What if I can’t 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
Can we keep my Legos at home?
‘Cause I wanna move out
I don’t wanna move on

It’s cold out there
You’re standing there
You’re trying to face
Your greatest fear
You’re shivering
You’re trembling
It’s warm in here
So come back in

Oh, no
Don’t throw out my Legos
What if I can’t let go
What if I come back home
Back home (x3)

Oh, no
I’ll come by when I’m grown
It won’t be the same, though
I can’t even go home
Go home

Can we keep my Legos at home?
‘Cause I wanna move out
I don’t wanna move on

My eighth grade history teacher was playing this in class. He asked us if we knew what it ment and we started talking about college. He said his daughter was leaving for college soon and he really liked the song, and it's been one of my favorite songs ever since. One of the best teachers ever, I'll never forget you Mr. Ware.

I wasn’t expecting a song called “don’t throw out my legos” to shoot me right in the heart

[Stalkiwi]

1:41 "People want shirts with the band name on it"
If you're wondering, YES, they really made a shirt with "The Band Name" written on it. Genius.

[daiedalous]

This... Hits way too close to home.
I literally had this conversation last week.

Didn't expect I'd be crying in a cold apartment at dawn on a Saturday, but here we are

[isaaka]

I love the innocence of this song compared to their other ones. It reminds me a lot of Sober Up like wanting to stay young and stuff

[table.]

Lego’s are classic, timeless, nostalgic, childish and cherished toys. The use of them specifically in this song is beautiful

[CryzVoid]

the intro of this song is one of the best intros i have ever heard. wowzers.

[ezekiel]

AJR: *uploads this song*
My Teacher: Choose a song with a deep meaning to paraphrase and get a deep meaning from it
Me: it's free real estate

[megacitationx]

I was so terrified of going to college and being away from my family so I refused to listen to this because it reminds of me growing up and leaving the nest. Now I’ve settled into my dorm, I’ve gone through a week of classes, and I feel fine and I can listen to this song again without feeling so bad! :) sometimes things aren’t as bad as they seem.

[godschickennugget]

Don't throw out the Legos! Winter will play with them!

[Phoenixium]

Don't throw out the legos, just let it stay there until someone steps on it.

[A_Surpluss_of_Stupidity]

This is ajrs best work no question, one of the only songs ive ever listened too to make me tear up

[ohReo]

AJR: *Uploads entirety of Neotheater at once*
Me: *whips out headphones* Christmas came earlier than expected

[jay-fsso]

*Parental advisory*

Real lyrics: *Dont throw out my legos*

[tonyolshansky]

I'm supposed to be a grown man but this song makes me weep. They always say growing up is hard, but they don't tell you that it sneaks up on you like this

[libby]

Ryan: *double blink*
Jack: *blink*
Adam:
Adam: *blink*

[twocupsoforangejuice]

Oh my gosh they're throwing out songs like they're hotcakes
But seriously, I love this-

[GS-dnlf]

I was at a recent AJR concert with my older kids and this song always kills me anyways, but I was sneaking tears away from my kids. I know this is from the young adult POV, but I can guarantee it's twice as bad from the Mom and Dad perspective. GREAT song AJR! My favorite song of many great songs.

Panic! At The Disco : Somehow makes the words “Look Ma I Made It” sound good in a song

AJR : Somehow makes the words “Don’t Throw Out My Legos” sound good in a song

[obligatoryturtle]

My friend listened to this song and said he couldn’t stop crying.


*we got a new fan boys*
