Ever felt like life is a never-ending Netflix series with too many filler episodes? AJR captures that exact sentiment in this existential bop. The song is an anthem for anyone stuck in the “meh” chapters of their life, yearning to fast-forward to the parts where everything magically aligns. It’s a humorous yet poignant reflection on the impatience we feel when our dreams seem just out of reach. With lines about napping on campus and smoking at dances, it paints a picture of youthful disillusionment and the quest for significance. Ultimately, it's a reminder that while we wait for our "good part," maybe the journey itself isn't so bad after all—or at least it makes for some catchy tunes!
The Good Part
Lyrics
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
One two three four
Ah, ah-ah-ah
One two three four
Ah, ah-ah-ah
One two three four
Have I done my best here, or
Will I be here next year, or
Are these my best years yet?
Was looking forward to
Being important but
I'm not important yet
If you put this scene on a movie screen
Is it called a happy end?
If the world gets me
Where I'm supposed to be
Will I know I've made it then?
It's so hard
Can we skip to the good part?
Ah, ah-ah-ah
One two three four
Ah, ah-ah-ah
One two three four
If there's a good part then
I hope it's not far 'cause
I thought it'd be today (ah, ah, ah, ah)
I napped on campus and
I smoked at dances but
It didn't feel so great
If you put this scene on a movie screen
Is it called a happy end?
If the world gets me
Where I'm supposed to be
Will I know I've made it then?
It's so hard
So can we skip to the good part?
Ah, ah-ah-ah
One two three four
Ah, ah-ah-ah
One two three four (can we skip to the good part?)
Ah, ah-ah-ah (to the good part, to the good part)
One two three four
Ah, ah-ah-ah (woo-ooh, woo-ooh)
One two three four
Ah, ah-ah-ah
These things take time
Mom and dad, they have a good life
But, what am I gonna do with mine?
These things take time
Mom and dad, they have a good life
But, what the hell am I gonna do with mine?
