lyrics

You're not supposed to say
You're not doing okay
But I'm alright in saying I'm not okay
And I know it sounds cliche
but I'm one phone call away
I'll never say I know just what you're feeling
But I'll staple all your words
To my mind and to my heart
Of one through ten you're spinal tap my friend
only good hearts go to eleven; yeah.

You're so cool
You're so cool I love you
The sky ain't falling but the worlds on fire
Will you fan the flames or will you
Fight to the pyre, you're so cool
You;re so cool I love you

The heinous things they do
to him, and her, they, them, and you
are not okay it never was or will be
Their blindness steeped in fear
of the unknown or shame filled tears
manifests to rage from self pity
Don't be ground don;t be silenced
like a disease
we've gotta fight this
highs and lows, ebbs and flows
you and me against the world oh no.

You're so cool
You're so cool I love you
The sky ain't falling but the worlds on fire
Will you fan the flames or will you
Fight to the pyre, you're so cool
You;re so cool I love you

For what it's worth at least we're still breathing
Not all birds are meant to fly
And we'll learn the hard way
What's worth repeating
And what stays buried down inside

One day I'm on cloud nine
the next I speed dial 911
One day I spend all day in bed
The next I'm up and out before the sun
Are you fighting demons
Or afraid of how you're feeling
Sometimes it just takes one
to say something to help break even
I believe in you, and I'm proud of you
Keep being you coz you're so cool
