This article is about old AJR content that is considered lost. Recordings of it may still exist on the internet, but adding them to this wiki is strongly discouraged as the band no longer wishes for the content to be publicly available and it will likely be taken down.
"If U Were Me" was the fourth track on one of AJR's old albums, Born and Bred. It was deleted after the release of the I'm Ready EP, and most recordings of the song have been taken down.
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Look in my eyes
Tell me what you see
What works for you just may not work for me
I tell you one thing that I know
That it's a long, long time before you have to grow
The way I've grown
[Chorus]
And if you were me
Which I'm sure you'd love to be
I can tell by your expression that you're scared
And if I were you
All the things that I could do
You can tell by my expression that I never would have to
Cause' we all have little secrets
That keep us hiding in your bed
Nothing's sold for free
If you were me
[Verse 2]
One is worse enough when you're all alone
Two can be much better when you're here and gone
I take it down, I take it slow
I take it all the way to places that you never dreamed to know
The pretzel complained till' the chorus sets him straight
And who would Ashley be without her Mary-Kate
You never know until you try
You'll never understand the reasons that I cry
The way I cry
[Chorus]
And if you were me
Which I'm sure you'd love to be
I can tell by your expression that you're scared
And if I were you
All the things that I could do
You can tell by my expression that I never would have to
Cause' we all have little secrets
That keep us hiding in your bed
Nothing's sold for free
If you were me
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
If you were me
Which I'm sure you'd love to be
I can tell by your expression that you're scared
And if I were you
All the things that I could do
You can tell by my expression that I'm scared
And if I were you
All the things that I could do
You can tell by my expression that I never would have to
Cause' we all have little secrets
Keep us hiding in your bed
Oh, nothing's sold for free
If you were me
