Lyrics:
My dad canāt get out of bed
Thereās something in his lungs
I think thatās what the doctor said
I gotta leave for Paris now
My band goes on at ten
And my dad canāt get out of bed
The Earth is spinning like it always did
The New York Times is publishing some real important thing
And each day when the world wakes up
Our lawns will still be wet
And my dad canāt get out of bed
God is really real
When you really really need him
Karma just appears
And you suddenly believe it
Hear it loud and clear
Just as long as itās convenient
Lifeās fuckinā long ātil it stops
And Godās fuckinā fake ātil heās not
Thereās robots that are way too good at art
And everybodyās sad now
And tryna get to Mars
Donāt wanna hear your problems
āCause thereās just one in my head
And he canāt get out of bed
What if we could break you out tonight
This kind of thing happens to other dads
It donāt happen to mine
Iāll distract the doctors
We could sneak out with your meds
You could come along and be a roadie for the band
Come on, Dad, get out of bed
God is really real
When you really really need him
Karma just appears
And you suddenly believe it
Hear it loud and clear
Just as long as itās convenient
Lifeās fuckinā long ātil it stops
And Godās fuckinā fake ātil heās not
Now itās late, I really gotta go
We canāt face our feelings so weāre making lots of jokes
And we wonāt cry about it
No, weāll be manly men
āI love youā sounds all corny
So I wrote this song instead
Iāll sing it for you, Dad
When you get out of bed
Iāll sing for you when youāre out of bed

Hey guys, just saw the news and I want to say, even though youāll probably never see this, that weāre all behind you and that you really have saved so many peopleās lives with your music, including mine. So even though Iāve never met him, it seems to me like Gary was an amazing dad to have made you guys into what you are today. Thank you for what you do, and Iām sorry for your loss.
Edit: Wow AJR fans really are the greatest. It warms my heart to see all of these comments. Thanks, guys, and letās give AJR the love they deserve!

2 months ago, AJR came out with this song, as a tribute to their father who past away. I felt that right trough the song. Now, 2 months later, the same thing happened to me, a 14 year old. Now this song hits even harder. I want to thank AJR for going on after this loss because you are helping me, and i think a lot of other people by sharing your music to the world. I needed this. Thank you AJR

Iāve heard people describing AJRās lyrics as childish or even shallow, but to me their lyrics are one of the most (not ironically) ārealā in todayās music industry. They just write what they feel and put it into a song and I think thatās really inspiring. They described the state of the world perfectly āeveryoneās sad and trying to go to marsā, their words are just plain and simple and beautiful, itās really refreshing

I never thought an AJR song would release today out of the blue, but itās absolutely beautiful to listen to. Iām sorry that you all are going through everything behind the scenes. Take as much time as you need to spend time with the ones who matter most

I am 52 years old. My music influences tend to the 70s and 80s...and AJR has restored my faith that music can be relevant, real, and timeless again. They aren't the 'greatest' musicians...but they are smart. and real.
I am thinking of you guys. My mother passed a few years ago...take your time. Come back when you are ready. Your fans will be waiting.

I know no one will care about this, but I Immediately broke down into tears after the song. I know I'm not the only one. It reminds me of my mom. One day when I was at school, my dad found my mom turning blue. She was hooked up to a machine that gave her oxygen, but she couldn't breathe. My dad immediately called the emergency number and she was taken to the hospital. I was taken out in the middle of school by my dad and he drove me to the hospital. He explained what happened on the way to the hospital. When we arrived and went into her room I immediately started crying. She was lying down in a hospital bed hooked up to all kinds of machines. I was scared. I thought she was gonna die. This was probably one of the only times where our entire family put their differences aside just to visit our mom. I'm not really religious, but this is definitely one of the few times where I prayed for my mom to be okay. She's okay. She's in the living room right now. I just thought of a world where she probably didn't make it. I'm sorry for making this comment so long. I just felt like sharing a bit. I thought it would help me feel a little better. I send my condolences to Jack, Adam, and Ryan. I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you do well in the future.

My father has been gone for 9 years. I heard this song and cried the entire time and for about 5 minutes after. The part that hurt the most was that the world kept going and I couldn't. It made me mad that people were going to the movies, and reading books and doing all the things that my dad would never get to do again, and didn't they know how bad that hurt? I am so sorry for the loss of your father.

He did his job. Created 3 handsome men, helped them threw life, and helped support there careers. Heās is the most lucky father someone could ask for. He will always be with you. Thank you Gary for the gift you brought on to this earth.

As a christian the chorus realy speaks to me. Whether you believe in God or not, you see it time and time again, people will turn to him in the most desperate times, and even devout christians will forget him when life is going fine.
It's a terrible thing to watch our loved ones fade away, and i hope you guys keep making music for a long time, I'm sure your dad is proud of you.
God bless.

the "come on, dad, get out of bed hits hard. The desperation, the realization that he wont. Such a powerful line that hits you in the feels. Stay strong AJR, we're all with you!
