Be Cool

Hey be cool man

Everyone here's a little tipsy

Unclench your fist and

Let's get ourselves a drink

Halfway in the scene

The circles you'd been running

In your head, in your head

Not even second best

Be cool man

Don't run your mouth in here again

You will find the end

Bliss is hollow

Her words kept you both there

Like cement in your bones

A teenage dream is hard to wake from

When the weight keeps creeping up

Stare ahead, pretend

Let this all end or begin

Flirt with anxiety but try not to let it in

Pray a taste will calm you down somewhere on the outskirts of this town

Early nights can make you drown

The screen can hide what you have found

The lips of lovers find their way to another

Your voice forgets how to make a sound

But not like this

Nothing like this

Fill your lungs

(Get your feet on the floor)

With a secret

(Just 50ft from the door)

Your mother

(You parked a little ways)

Kept herself

(Down the street)

When you find

(Your pockets are full)

Hiding places

(To march your thoughts)

And habits

(So make your plans)

You don't really need anyone else

You'll never get caught

But I saw her eyes catch mine

Slow it down! Don't lose control

Find your car keys

Get up and drag yourself out of this place

So be cool man, just be cool man

Be cool
