Verse 1:
Outside, bum another cigarette
Don't love the smoke, just the fog of finally fitting in
Oooh
Pre-Chorus:
I've been trading little parts of me
Buying into what I see on the screen
Tell myself everything's fine
If I look the part on the outside
Chorus:
In my white jeans
And my nikes
I've been playing it cool
Got the Louis
With the gold V
I've been breaking my rules, oh
Said I'd never lie to myself
Pretend that I was somebody else
White jeans
And my nikes
I've been playing it cool, cool
Verse 2:
Inside, pour myself another cup
Fake smile, drink until it's real enough
Oooh
Pre-Chorus:
I've been trading little parts of me
Buying into what I see on the screen
Tell myself everything's fine
If I look the part on the outside
Chorus:
In my white jeans
And my nikes
I've been playing it cool
Get the Louis
With the gold V
I've been breaking my rules, oh
Said I'd never lie to myself
Pretend that I was somebody else
White jeans
And my nikes
I've been playing it cool, cool
Bridge:
Dancing with strangers
Hiding in crowded places
Sometimes I'll catch a
Heavier smile on their faces
Do they see the way that I'm seeing?
Do they feel the way that I'm feeling?
All trying to be someone
Left feeling like no one
Underneath these
Chorus:
White jeans
And my nikes
I've been playing it cool
Got the Louis
With the gold V
I've been breaking my rules, oh
Said I'd never lie to myself
Pretend that I was somebody else
White jeans
And my nikes
I've been playing it cool, cool
