about

Special thanks to my Patreon supporters (especially Robin Abess, Jeremy Jackson, and James Doster) for helping make sure this song got written and recorded.

lyrics

I care a little too much
I laugh a little too loud
I look a touch out of place
But still blend in with a crowd
I was always picked last
For everything at my school…
I am the opposite of cool.

I still read comic books
I’ve got a long box or nine
Got a house full of cats
Post their pictures online
I wear the shirt of the band
Whose concert I’m going to…
I am the opposite of cool

I get a little too mad
Cry a little too much
I return every text
But I still feel out of touch
I get excited for things
And want to share them with you…
I am the opposite of cool.

I love some movies you don’t
And don’t like some that you do
I’m more a red-shirt than Kirk
And I still watch Doctor Who
And I know which Hogwarts house
that I’d want sorted into...
I am the opposite of cool.

I’ve got my head in the clouds
And my feet on the ground…
I’ve got my nose to the grindstone
But there’s no one around
I’ve got my head screwed on tight
Got my priorities straight
and every breath is a fight
But I’m feeling great

I don’t have too many friends
And I still answer my phone
I just don’t know how to dance
Unless I’m drunk or alone
I shouldn’t care what you think
But I still probably do...
I am the opposite of cool.
