“Three-Thirty” is the eighth track on AJR’s second album titled The Click. It is the song oldest brother Adam connects to the most.
He commented:
The generation we are growing up in is so schizophrenic in its likes and dislikes, with social media and having content thrown in our face so much. Even...
[Verse 1: Jack Met]
Never spoken with my mouth full
Yeah that's a mouthful and I'm doubtful
That I could get these lyrics out, oh
'Cause I think fast but I sing slow
If I ever started rapping
They'd be laughing, they won't believe me
But I got so much I wanna say
So I'm thinking rappers, they got it easy
[Verse 2: Jack Met]
Someone told me to be selfless
But we are helpless without attention
So if no one's paying attention
Then does my voice get to your headphones?
You start thinking 'bout the clock ticks
You get nervous, you start stressin'
So how am I supposed to fit this
In three minutes and thirty seconds
[Chorus: Jack Met]
Listen to my aching heart
Quick, before you skip the song
We are human after all
And we don't stay for long
[Verse 3: Jack Met]
Someone told me to be selfless
But we are helpless without attention
Wealthy people learn the lesson
And never donate without the press there
You wanna skip it if it's wordy
But fit the whole song in three-thirty
I thought I had the ADHD
But that's a real thing and I'm just lazy
[Chorus: Jack Met]
Listen to my aching heart
Quick, before you skip the song
We are human after all
And we don't stay for long
We are human after all
And we don't stay for long
[Interlude]
[Outro: Jack Met]
Listen to my aching heart
Will you keep this record on
If Ed Sheeran writes my song
I'll finally top the charts
If Ed Sheeran writes my song
I'll finally top the charts

(“Three-Thirty”) is probably the weirdest song we’ve ever written. It was one of those writing experiences where we didn’t know what we wanted to write about, we just started with a line. (It started with the first line!) Then it was just like, let’s come up with a bunch weird lines and try to make...
