Lyrics:
I put on a play in my old house
In my cape, jumping on the old couch
Putting up lights when itā€™s cold out
Mom and dad, both seats sold out
Show you my play

Havenā€™t seen the old house lately
Wonder if they found my spaceship
I donā€™t want my own love wasted
Tell me this is what youā€™re saying:

If you both outgrew one another
I could start now, looking for a lover
But if love dies, do I fucking bother
I just really really really really really wanna
Show you my play

And I donā€™t wanna do it for Dad
At Dadā€™s new place

I worked really really really really hard
Lemme show you my play

And I donā€™t wanna do it twice
Cause itā€™s not the same

Iā€™ve been on dates, bringing flowers
Trynaā€™ be great for an hour
You and me might go sour
But if we donā€™t hold out, then weā€™re cowards

I put on a play in my basement
Mom and dad smiling faces
But now I donā€™t know if they faked it
Guess everything is complicated

If you both outgrew one another
I could start now, looking for a lover
But if love dies, do I fucking bother
I just really really really really really wanna
Show you my play

And I donā€™t wanna do it for Dad
At Dadā€™s new place

I worked really really really really hard
Lemme show you my play

And I donā€™t wanna do it twice
Cause itā€™s not the same

You did everything everything everything that you could,
We do everything everything everything till itā€™s through
Iā€™ll do everything everything everything when Iā€™m you

But when I show you my play
Will you pretend you didnā€™t know
If I make a mistake
Itā€™s gonna get really really really really bad
Before itā€™s okay
But maybe youā€™ll forget it all
While youā€™re watching my play

This has a similar feeling to Donā€™t throw out my legos but with so much more raw emotion. Honesty is so much sadder than just a ā€œsad songā€

My parents are right in the middle of getting a divorce right now and today was extra hard since my dad just removed the last of his stuff from my momā€™s place. It was a miracle that this song came out today. Thanks so much, AJR!

Ouch, the last line just screams ā€œchild putting the divorce on their own shoulders and taking responsibility for keeping their parents togetherā€ vibes

As a child of divorce and now 28 year old, you donā€™t realize how many people went through the exact same thing. Itā€™s almost like a secret club youā€™re in when you hear about someone elseā€™s similar experience. Even though divorce is so normalized these days, itā€™s not easy going through it as a child. I did the same thing as AJR. I used to put on plays for my parents and when they divorced I started filming them so I could show my dad the play at his house because the neighborhood kids couldnā€™t be there to do the play again. Those videos are hard to watch because I obviously was doing them just to be able to show my dad what he missed because of the divorce. Itā€™s never easy and even as an adult itā€™s still hard to this day. Thank you AJR once again for another beautifully relatable masterpiece.

"It's gonna get really really really really bad Before it's okay." My favorite part of the song.

This is possibly the most relatable AJR song yet, and thatā€™s saying a lot since the whole reason I love their music is how relatable it is

Who let AJR make so much inclusive and hard-hitting music while still keeping an upbeat mood and tune? I'm not complaining but wow, AJR is something else.

As someone who knows how it feels for their parents to be apart... it just hits home. Because itā€™s like when your younger you know that something isnā€™t right and it kinda feels like it your fault that your parents arenā€™t together. And going over the other parents house (being mom or dad) it doesnā€™t feel... right. You think itā€™s better to have both parents there to see what you can do and to help through out life. But now that Iā€™m 16, I know that life goes on. I just have to make the best of itšŸ˜‡šŸ˜‡šŸ˜‡

My Girlfriend and I listend together to first time. She told me afterwards, as she was little that she was in a theater group in her School. Her Parents were divorced for a certain time around that time. Her Mother was so Mad at her Dad, that she said she would leave if he was there. So, at the premier of the Show, her Dad hid behind some Headlights & stood there, watching this 90 minutes long play of his Daughter & as soon as it was finished, he left as fast as he could, so his Ex-Wife wouldnt notice him. As she told me that, she looked happy, but bursted out in Tears after. This Song really has something magical in it.

šŸ„ŗšŸ˜„šŸ˜¢ this is so good and Extremely Relatable... doing it all twice really isn't the same.

I couldnā€™t help but wonder how their parents would react to this song, when I remembered.... If you pay extra for their live show, you get the ā€œGary-Camā€, which is literally just a camera that shows their fathers reaction. And theyā€™re playing this song too. I thought it was a funny idea a few weeks ago, but the Gary-Cam might actually be very emotional.

This song comes out at the perfect time as thousands of kids prepare to manage the holidays between two places that are pulling them in separate ways, this song is for those kids that know why having two Christmas' really isn't all that great, doing it twice isn't the same.

Iā€™m 17 years old. My parents got divorced when I was 6 years old. Living the life of having to go through your parentā€™s divorce is heartbreaking. All the things you see, and go through it catches up to you. I was lucky enough to where both my parents loved me equally and fought as hard as they can to keep it 50/50. I know many others arenā€™t as lucky. My heart goes out to all of you who have gone through what we all have in common. It truly never is the same done twice. Birthdays, Thanksgiving, Halloween, Christmas, any special event... it never is the same. I still remember vividly the fights, the crying, the separation, and me as a little boy just wanting to figure out why mommy and daddy donā€™t love each other anymore. I know now. They let me realize why things couldnā€™t work out. And it makes sense. You just canā€™t escape the craving of wanting to have your parents in the same room smiling and being proud together of the child they created. It never gets easy. But we can only push on. We can only be better for those we love and learn from their mistakes. Thank you AJR, for making me feel not alone and that even superstars have gone through the same struggles of their fan. You guys have changed my life. Thank you for reminding me of the community we as victims of divorce share and that we were never alone.
