Cool

[Verse 1]
Sweet life livin'
Pools and swimming
Drinks in bars and
Boys in cars and
Rooftop sinning
Skinny dipping
Shooting stars and
Fat cigars and

[Bridge]
That weekend up in the islands
They stop and stare
Flashes filling the silence
Of a Hollywood love affair
Waking up in the islands
But I saw you there
Lost and trying to be

[Chorus]
I was just trying to be cool
I was just trying to be like you
I'm a spark and you're a boom
What am I supposed to do?

[Verse 2]

[Repeat Bridge]
[Repeat Chorus]

[Middle-8]
But I've got that cigarette smoke
The Saint Laurent coat
But none of it's feeling right
I drink but I choke
I love but I don't, yeah
I was just trying to be cool
I was just trying to be like you

[Spoken]
I was just trying to be cool
I was just trying to be like you
I'm a spark and you're a boom
What am I supposed to do?

[Repeat Chorus]
