## Lyrics

Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey (oh-oh-oh), hey hey hey

I should move 'cause New York is gettin' muddy out
There's LA, but it's always kinda sunny out
And I don't wanna hurt no more
So I set my bar real low

I'm a-okay, I'm a-okay (ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
You say it but you just don't mean it
You're so insane, you're so insane (ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
Shut up and just enjoy this feelin'

Don't you love it? Don't you love it?
No, I ain't happy yet
But I'm way less sad
Don't you love it? Don't you love it?
No, I ain't happy yet
But I'm way less sad

Hey hey hey, hey hey hey (oh-oh-oh), hey hey hey
But I'm way less sad
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey (oh-oh-oh), hey hey hey
But I'm way less sad

I wake up and I'm not so mad at Twitter now
Livin' sucks but it's suckin' just a little now
And I don't wanna cry no more
So I set my bar real low

I'm a-okay, I'm a-okay (ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
You say it but you just don't mean it
You're so insane, you're so insane (ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
Shut up and just enjoy this feelin'

Don't you love it? Don't you love it?
No, I ain't happy yet
But I'm way less sad
Don't you love it? Don't you love it?
No, I ain't happy yet (happy yet)
But I'm way less sad

I may be wrong (wrong), I may be wrong (wrong)
It's stupid but it's all I have

Don't you love it? Don't you love it?
No, I ain't happy yet
But I'm way less sad

Well, I can't fall asleep and I'm losin' my mind
'Cause it's half past three and my brain's on fire
I been countin' sheep but the sheep all died
And I'm tryin' too hard but I can't not try

Well, I can't fall asleep and I'm losin' my mind
'Cause it's half-past three and my brain's on fire
(Brain's on fire)
I been countin' sheep but the sheep all died
And I'm not dead yet, so I guess I'll be alright

Don't you love it? Don't you love it?
No, I ain't happy yet (happy yet)
But I'm way less sad
Don't you love it? Don't you love it?
No, I ain't happy yet
But I'm way less sad

I may be wrong (I may be wrong), I may be wrong (I may be wrong)
It's stupid but it's all I have

Don't you love it? Don't you love it?
No, I ain't happy yet
But I'm way less sad

## Trivia

* As shown in this video about the song, the main melody of this song is from the Simon & Garfunkel song "My Little Town" (audio here). However, the melody only plays during the fade-out of that song, so AJR wanted to use it for a full song.
* In one of the scenes in the music video, Jack on the escalator is wearing a shirt that’s named “THE BAND NAME”. This is a reference to Don’t Throw Out My Legos where there’s a line in that song saying “ People want shirts with the band name on it”. You can also buy this shirt in the ajrbrothers.com store.
