Cool Kid Lyrics

I'm getting old to be this feckless

Tossing rocks and toeing lines

Lord, forgive me of my sins

I've been earnest here again

Better cover up my veins until it's time

And I'll try to be your cool kid

And wear that skin around

Pretend I like their bells and whistles when I never hear a sound

I could decorate the background

Another pretty smile

Taking shots with every bully by your side

The cool kid kind

I've got a lingering suspicion

They can smell that I'm a liar

I'm too soft and I'm too weak

I can't think the things they think

But I'll practice every day to change my mind

'Cause I'd kill to be your cool kid

And wear that skin around

Pretend I like their bells and whistles when I never hear a sound

I could decorate the background

Another pretty smile

Taking shots with every bully by your side

The cool kid kind

The cool kid kind

And I'll try to be your cool kid

Hold my baggage like a cool kid

And make you think that I'm a cool kid

'Til I'm too old and I'm too tired of all the trying

The cool kid kind
