Navigating the transition from adolescence to adulthood, AJR poignantly captures the emotional complexity of leaving home. The lyrics articulate a young adult's apprehension about moving out and the symbolic significance of retaining childhood artifacts, like Legos, as anchors to their past. The plea to keep these items reflects a deeper fear of losing one's identity and comfort in the face of impending change. The repeated refrain underscores the tension between the desire for independence and the reluctance to fully sever ties with familiar, comforting elements of youth. Ultimately, this song resonates as an exploration of growth, nostalgia, and the bittersweet nature of personal evolution.
Don't Throw Out My Legos
Lyrics
My new address is hard to remember
So I wrote it on the back of my hand
'Cause I leave the nest, this coming December
To make it as a grown man
I'm about to lose my only defenders
I'm packing up whatever I can
Been waiting for today but
All I can think to say is
Oh no, don't throw out my Legos
What if I can't let go
What if I come back home, back home
Oh no, don't throw out my Legos
What if I can't let go
What if I come back home, back home
Can we keep my Legos at home?
'Cause I wanna move out
I don't wanna move on
People want shirts with the band name on it
And suddenly we ain't so bad
Saved up enough to rent an apartment
Far away from mom and dad
My Christmas card looks like a mugshot
'Cause suddenly I'm getting sad
Been waiting for today but
All I can think to say is
Oh no, don't throw out my Legos
What if I can't let go
What if I come back home, back home
Oh no, don't throw out my Legos
What if I can't let go
What if I come back home, back home
Can we keep my Legos at home
'Cause I wanna move out
I don't wanna move on
Can we keep my Legos at home
'Cause I wanna move out
I don't wanna move on
It's cold out there, you're standing there
You're trying to face your greatest fear
You're shivering, you're trembling
It's warm in here so come back in
Oh no, don't throw out my Legos
What if I can't let go
What if I come back home, back home
Oh no, don't throw out my Legos
What if I can't let go
What if I come back home, back home
Oh no, don't throw out my Legos
What if I can't let go
What if I come back home, back home
Oh, no, I'll come home when I'm grown
It won't be the same though
I can't even go home, go home
Can we keep my Legos at home?
'Cause I wanna move out
I don't wanna move on
