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
