COOL

Sometimes when I look over

I see you standing on your balcony

A blue jeans, white shirt rover

It’s really getting on my mentality

​

Rushing to get the binocular

So I can have a better view

I know I’m acting like a stalker

In real life and online, too

​

Cool, cool, always so cold

Though that version of coolness’s so old

Nowadays people show how they’re feeling

Your heart is dry from out-bleeding

You don’t let anybody close enough

Always acting like you’re oh so tough

 

In your favorite song, doesn’t it say

“Remember to let her into your heart”

But your feelings are like dust in an ashtray

And you would never lose your guard

​

You had me in the palm of your hand
I was feeding you till I got sore

Nothing else you needed to demand

Until you asked for so much more

​

Cool, cool, always so cold

Though that version of coolness’s so old

Nowadays people show how they’re feeling

Your heart is dry from out bleeding

You don’t let anybody close enough

Always acting like you’re oh so tough

​

You lost yourself when you lost me

And we both want it back

In another life maybe we're free

Now, it's so much we lack
