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
