The Cool Boy

[Verse 1]

Leather jacket and jeans and a gentle smile

Breaking onto the scene, sure it takes a while

But you're born for it baby, yeah it's in your bones

Used to tell you each night through the telephone

Make my way through the crowd to the barricade

Staring up at your stance, feel the whole room fade away

And suddenly I'm 22, and all I care to think and talk about is you

I wanna make you notice and focus on me

[Chorus 1]

Who cares if you've been living alone and grown comfortable? I'm the еxception to the rule

'Causе we'd look so good together

They'd all know that I'd won over the cool boy

[Verse 2]

When you're taking me home, it all comes rushing back

Relishing the same books, films, and deep cut tracks

Feeling as though the way we gravitate towards each other aggravates women in your orbit

Wish they had a taste of your focus on me

[Chorus 2]

Who cares this love's a perilous zone?

If you're vulnerable then I'm the exception to the rule

'Cause we'd look so good together

They'd all know I had a hold on the cool boy

[Bridge]

Thought I'd get out unscathed, my integrity saved

Not succumb to my rage, I should've known it

Cool boy's gonna blow it either way

When you think of me now, when you say my name out loud

Does it sound like your regrets, your missed chances or questions unanswered?

[Outro]

Thought we'd look so good together

Why'd you make me play the role of the fool?

Now they all know that I got over the cool boy
