212 (Single Version) Lyrics by AJR

Venture

2010

[Intro: Adam, Jack, and Ryan]
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this-
(Let’s go)
(Let’s go) AJR!
(laughter)
(212)

[Verse 1: Adam or Ryan, Adam and Ryan, Jack]
The rain outside is pouring
I shred the last of the photographs
C-C-Curlin’ up on the sofa
P-P-Puts the Saturday night to rest
I’ve been searchin’ for something
To make me change up my mind

[Pre-Chorus: Adam or Ryan]
I know the time has come
We’re marchin’ to a different drum
We gotta move while we’re still young
We’re dancin’ ’til we drop

[Chorus: Adam or Ryan, Adam, Jack, and Ryan]
The song starts when I drop by
I know we’re not the crazy kind of guys
You just need a Dinner to twist and shout
It’s our time
Come on out
The song starts when I drop by
I know we’re not the crazy kind of guys
You just need a Dinner to twist and shout
It’s our time
Come on out

[Post-Chorus: Adam, Jack, and Ryan]
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city (Hey)
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city (We will!)
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city
Rock, rock this city
Rock, rock this city
(Let’s go)

[Verse 2: Adam or Ryan, Jack, Adam, Adam, Jack, and Ryan]
I’ve been searchin’ for something
Something bigger than you and me
I-I-I know you were
Faking, mistaking, breaking, taking
Thank god it’s a Saturday
No, it can’t be denied
[Adam, Jack, and Ryan]
The beat is getting high

[Pre-Chorus: Adam, Jack, and Ryan]
My, I know the time has come
We’re marchin’ to a different drum
We gotta move while we’re still young
We’re dancin’ ’til we drop

[Chorus: Adam or Ryan, Adam, Jack, and Ryan]
The song starts when I drop by
I know we’re not the crazy kind of guys
You just need a Dinner to twist and shout
It’s our time
Come on out (Woo!)

The song starts when I drop by
I know we’re not the crazy kind of guys
You just need a Dinner to twist and shout
It’s our time
Come on out

[Post-Chorus: Adam, Jack, and Ryan]
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city (Hey)
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city (We will!)
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city
Rock, rock this city
Rock, rock this city
(Rock, rock this city)
(Rock, rock this city)
(212)

[Bridge: Adam or Ryan, Jack]
Subway rumble
A rolling timpani
Blaring cellos
A perfect symphony
Hmm, yeah
Oh, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Adam, Jack]
I know the time has come
We’re marchin’ to a different drum
We gotta move while we’re still young
We’re dancin’ ’til we drop
I know the time has come
We’re marchin’ to a different drum
We gotta move while we’re still young
We’re dancin’ ’til we drop
I know the time has come
We’re movin’ up with AJR!
We gotta move while we’re still young
We’re dancin’ ’til we drop
Cuz you c-c-can’t disagree with the NYC

[Chorus: Adam or Ryan, Adam, Jack, and Ryan]
The song starts when I drop by
I know we’re not the crazy kind of guys
You just need a Dinner to twist and shout
It’s our time
Come on out
The song starts when I drop by
I know we’re not the crazy kind of guys
You just need a Dinner to twist and shout
It’s our time
Come on out

[Post-Chorus: Adam, Jack and Ryan]
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city (Hey)
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city (We will!)
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city
Rock, rock this city
Rock, rock this city
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city (Hey)
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city (We will!)
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city
Rock, rock this city
Rock, rock this city
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city
