Cool Enough Lyrics

Nicole Atkins Cool Enough

There’s a million ways
To leave your past
And turn your eyes
And watch it die

Hometown hopes they fade
They fade and change
Just like a joke
Passed down in time

Hiding out in alleyways
And sleeping on the beaches
In the summer
We would try anything
Anything just once
If it seemed cool enough

Everyone I’ve known
That has turned cold
When they felt old
Their fear has stayed
Hometown heroes fall
As years go by
Like dominoes
A dark parade


I’ll go anywhere
I’ll go anywhere you want
If you’ll take me
I know that I don’t know you very well
But you seem cool enough

I don’t care where you’re going
Just take me with you
This place’s got nothing
That I could want

But I think that someday
I might feel different
Feel that someday
Oh, still that someday
