lyrics

I wanna be cool but I don't know how
I wanna be cool but it's so nice out
Brain said walk, honey, heart said run
Ignite your wings you gotta see the sun

You can't bribe the universe if it's bribing you
The rules, oh, they govern, they tell me what to do
But the grass is green and it still grows exactly where I stand
I won't be opposed to who I am

I wanna be cool but I don't know how
I wanna be cool but I'm so strung out
World said stop, honey, heart said go
World said stop but I said no

The laws of physics say
I can't float away
Better things are near and gravity feeds on fear
I will run into the sky and if I fall it won't be because I didn't try
