Ready Set, The - Sixty Eight Lyrics
And one day the world’s gonna be alright,
And there will be no pain
Shut the ICU down tonight
'Cause everyone is safe
And I will overlook this operation by your side
'Cause we’re too young, we’re still kids
We’re too young, we’re still kids
I see your hearts get bigger when you lose your friends
And everyone’s around you saying that it’s not the end,
It's not the end
But you cried so hard,
And I watched you grow so strong
And I made you laugh in my arms
And you stood so proud
You had me wishing, wanting, begging for some words from you
And you smiled to the crowd,
It’s enough for now
’Cause we’re too young, we’re still kids
We’re too young, we’re still kids
Take a break from the mask,
You’ve done enough today
I saw you smiling like it’s all ok,
And it will be soon
This is a song for the boys and the girls I never met
And all my friends that I have had and I have kept
So get me down, down for the count
’Cause we are all the same, we’re all the same
It’s my job to keep you strong, I do it ’cause I’m supposed to
It’s my job to keep you strong, I do it ’cause I like to
It’s my job to keep you strong, I do it ’cause I’m told to.
It’s my job to keep you strong, I do it ’cause I love you
I do it 'cause I love you
I do it 'cause I love you
I do it 'cause I love you
On that day, we will be in charge
The weather’s always bright and 68 degrees

Ready Set, The Sixty Eight Comments
I was a freshman when my friend showed me this I remember her exact words, “This song reminds me of you it’s our song” and she’d sing it w me.. nostalgia. That switch up in the song STILL gets me..
this sounded a lot better in 2011
Still listening 2018.
I make my son birthday videos every year. Just a compilation of pictures of him growing up from the previous year. When he turned one this was the song i used. Because we both were young, still are young. I got pregnant with him at 16 and he is still one of the best things that ever happened to me.
Who’s here in 2018? Lol it’s 7/23/18 and I’m still here 😅
😭 still know every word
when I'm doubting myself and questioning my existence, I find myself just repeating this again and again till the pain fades. god I love trs
Johnnie guilbert brought me here ☺
This is my favorite version of this song but this is the only one i can find thank you!!!!!
My middle school years were amazinnnng once I discovered him. It all started with this song! I remember crying when I saw him at Jinglebell Bash haha
hmm ive nvr heard this version..only the acoustic
I swear I've heard an acoustic version of this song but I can't find one?
on his YouTube channel The Ready Set 😊
Whoa I have't listened to this guy in forever, your comment just brought back memories, lol!
Lol yeah I realized I replied to a comment from 3 years ago xD
Lmao xD
I just got back from his concert and he played this! It was amazing! <3
I like the acoustic better, gives it much more meaning.
This song is so good. It almost made me cry though but I still like it. :D
Great lyrics, just a little too much autotune in my opinion.
Wow es fantastico! (:
He wrote it...
...... I lost somebody very important to me almost 2 years ago... and this song played 24/7 for almost 3 weeks. It helped me cry & stay strong.
<3 Jamey. I do it because I love you. <3
ikr perfect 4 my funeral
did he cover this song? or is it like he wrote it?
just add 1 to the title and it would sound wrong XD
i <3 this band!!!
"This is a song for they boys and the girls that I never met"
Aww Jordan wrote a song for me<3
his hair is kick ass thought
is it weird that i want the acoustic version of this song played at my funeral??
this song is so inspiring (:

R.I.P. Kyle Hamilton.
I'll love you forever. You'll always be in my heart.
Reminds me of 8th grade so much
@bellapotter123 i meant Jordan it's cuz i was on my ipod and i was typing too fast and it auto corrected to jim lol
Aww they sang this live about 2weeks ago it was so good!
I like it but I don't know what he's trying to say, :/ someone explain?? I freaking love Jim and I'm ashamed that I don't know what he means!!! -.-
Cutest song.....EVER<3
7 people are Cr@zy
INCREDIBLE!!!
I love this song and i havent heard it in a looong time so that made me love it even more
Every time i hear this ithink it's 'i see you' but it's ICU
this song is 298433423498 times more beautiful live <3
@tomboy434 you're so lucky, i cant go to his concerts.. i live in the netherlands.. (that explains my bad engish, im srry :x)
@finthehuman123 @ my school they don't know who he is. to bad cause he is TOOOO amazing!!
i kinda hate the fact that the people at my school don't even like him. They liked 1 song and then got over it and went back to mainstream. Only a handful of us are cool and have open minds and like him.
@bimboslizzay143 To true!<3
Okay.. I tried looking it up on Google, but I didn't find anything good.. What is the meaning of this song?
YAY!! I LOVE THIS SONG SOOOO MUCHHHH!! even the acoustic version!!!! and it's gonna be sixtyeight degrees after i come from school!!!! LOLOLOL XD
@annoying01fun Well i love his hair....alot but he himself is also really cute ;) But his music always has a deeper meaning
@PeAcEnLoVe73223831 i not really sure if im right but i think he tragically lost a close friend in high school
I haven't listened to The Ready Set in a year.
It popped up in my Shuffle list on my iPod and I found myself singing along before I realized who the band was.
All of the songs have been in my head all week, so I'm giving in and listening all night.
I've missed Jordan's voice. <3
LOVE YOU!
can someone tell me what this song means? i lovee it! i just dont really understand itt.
@MrsFoodmom no musical value.. really?? your a troll for one and two find the acoustic version of this its effin baller
@georgyyy333 then get off the page?
Its my job to keep you strong, I do it cause Im supposed to
Its my job to keep you strong, I do it cause I like to
Its my job to keep you strong, I do it cause Im told to.
Its my job to keep you strong, I do it cause I love you
I do it 'cause I love you
I do it 'cause I love you
I do it 'cause I love you
............ ♥ ♪♫♪♫♪♫
@MrsFoodmom Trollllllllllllllllll!!
@SuperBeavers123 No... he's got a cutesy haircut and some serious autotune. . Record companies seek out young good looking kids (talent or no talent) in order to impose their money making agendas on them. There is no musical value to this at all. Not trying to attack, just saying that some people are fooled into thinking there is creative value to some things, only because there is a cute face attached to it. A pretty face for a (crap) product is all. FIind real music... with instruments.
My favorite song by him.
this is bad music
@TMSKid13 i know me to i love you jordan
Awww hes so sweet. <3
@TMSKid13 IF you ever do meet him he is a great guy, i met him once in hottopic he is soo funny and very chamring but sadly he wont give you his numebr lol but you'll still get to have agreat time ;D
i'm in love with this song<3
I know this is gunna sound so stuiped and preppy and girly but whateva i dont care. Every time he said " i do it cuz i love you.." i thought he was saying that to me. Sorry i am a dreamer.
@MyScorpio19 sad story
@TMSKid13 his voice is even better in person then recorded ;)
I hope he sings this at warped.. he probably wont ;( but hes amazing :)
Who r the 6 that need a straight jacket I'll lend them some because I love this song I don't need mine
@raine2719 I'll look it uppp thankss
@AnnabethChase10 lol yeah I love Jordan and most of his songs. But the auto tune annoys me. I honestly started listening to him after love like woe and then went back to his old stuff. I love balconies.
@TMSKid13 I seen him XD
I've seen this video Wat too many times
@TMSKid13 i met him hehe but i didnt give him a fake mustache.
@TMSKid13
You forgot TOTALLY HEAT MELTiNG !
I always used to sing this song to my boyfriend evryday til' the day we saw eachother & when we saw eachother in person he broke up with me< / 3 /'';
I'm glad that this song helps people but its super auto tuned and I hate it. If he re-recorded it without the auto tune I think I would like it a lot more.
@TMSKid13
If you live in Fort Wayne he is here all the time after all he was born and raised in Fort Wayne. He plays for free at the malls here.
this song is helpin me get through the days cuz i recently found out i had cancer :( and this song tells me to not give up hope and that my friends are there for me :)

lol i like how im probibily the only guy who is watching / listening to this song ^_*
This was even prettier live <3
<3 the ready set <3 the ready set <3 the ready set<3 the ready set <3 the ready set the ready set <3
THIS IS AN AMAZING SONG!
wat would we do if he cut his hair
<3 jordan

@TheNinjaskills
His MOM made him play the drums when he was 11, and this is how he got where he is now. ;)
This song it about a personal experience of his, from losing a friend when he was younger. Go back and read the lyrics again, the song will mean a lot more to you than it does now. It makes you wanna cry.
this is one of sweetest songs ever! <3 :)
"its my job to keep you strong. i do cause i love you" <3333
@TheNinjaskills his parents very much loved and love him. they are very supportive of what Jordan is doing
just saying.
She's got a love like woe
JORDAN IS SUCH A BABE I LOVE HIM!!!
@ibethebest999 Owl City is my favorite artist in the world. And The Ready Set is the only artist who I like nearly as much as Owl City. Owl City's actually how I found Jordan... <3
I love love love dis song makes me wanna cry!
doees anyone know where to download this.?
i can only find the acoustic on itunes and everywhere. :| pleasee?
such a touching song
Did anyone else cry like crazy when they heard this song? Or is it just me?
Can somebody tell me what interview he was in that he talked about the purpose for this song? I really wanna watch it!
this song is so catchy
awwwww this song is so cute.
"and one day, the world's gonna be alright. and there will be no pain, shut the ICU down tonight cause everyone is safe." that's my favorite part :)
