AJR – My Play Lyrics

[Intro]
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah (Ah ah ah)
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah (Ah ah ah)

[Verse 1]
I put on a play in my old house (Old house)
In my cape, jumpin’ on the old couch
Puttin’ up lights when it’s cold out (Cold out)
Mom and Dad, both seats sold out
Show you my play

[Break]
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah (Ah ah ah)
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah (Ah ah ah)

[Verse 2]
Haven’t seen the old house lately
Wonder if they found my spaceship
I don’t want my own love wasted
Tell me this is what you’re sayin’:

[Pre-Chorus]
If you both outgrew one another
I could start now, looking for a lover
But if love dies, do I fuckin’ bother?

[Chorus]
I just really, really, really, really wanna show you my play
And I don’t wanna do it for Dad at Dad’s new place
I worked really, really, really, really hard, lemme show you my play
And I don’t wanna do it twice, ’cause it’s not the same

[Post-Chorus]
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah (Ah ah ah)

[Verse 3]
I’ve been on dates, bringin’ flowers
Tryna be great for an hour
You and me might go sour
But if we don’t hold out, then we’re cowards

[Verse 4]
I put on a play in my basement (Basement)
Mom and Dad smilin’ faces (Faces)
But now I don’t know if they faked it (Faked it)
Guess everything is complicated

[Pre-Chorus]
If you both outgrew one another
I could start now, lookin’ for a lover
But if love dies, do I fuckin’ bother?

[Chorus]
I just really, really, really, really wanna show you my play
And I don’t wanna do it for Dad at Dad’s new place
I worked really, really, really, really hard, lemme show you my play
And I don’t wanna do it twice, ’cause it’s not the same

[Bridge]
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
You did everything, everything, everything that you could
Ah ah ah ah
We do everything, everything, everything ’til it’s through
Ah ah ah ah
I’ll do everything, everything, everything when I’m you

[Outro]
But when I show you my play
Will you pretend you didn’t know if I make a mistake?
It’s gonna get really, really, really, really bad before it’s okay
But maybe you’ll forget it all while you’re watchin’ my play
