The Cool Boy

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 twenty two And all I care to think and talk about is you I wanna make you notice and focus on me Who cares if you've been living alone And grown comfortable? I'm the exception to the rule 'Causе we'd look so good together They'd all know that I'd won over the cool boy 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 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 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? 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
