"Cool Kid" lyrics

I wish I was the cool kid, the one that always fits in
The guy that doesn't have to try to be the one everyone likes
And all my jokes are stupid, and all my clothes don't quite fit
And no one likes someone who's shy, but I will prove myself in time

I'll fix my hair, I'll learn guitar, I'll stay up all night workin' hard
I'll change my clothes, I'll change my life, I'll change it all until I'm liked
I'll fix my hair, I'll learn guitar, I'll stay up all night workin' hard
I'll change my clothes, I'll change my life, then I'll become the one they like

And everyone will see, they were all the fools
For them to not believe that I'm the kid, that I'm the kid
And everyone will see that they were all the fools
For them to not believe that I'm the kid, that I'm the kid who's cool

It's crazy how rejection can turn into a good thing
I've thought if they don't want me, fine, I'll become a better guy
I just wanted connection, instead I got some big dream
The pain worked up an appetite, I got lost in ambition's eyes

I fixed my hair, I learned guitar, I stayed up all night workin' hard
I changed my clothes, I changed my life, then I became the one they liked
I fixed my hair, I learned guitar, I stayed up all night workin' hard
I changed my clothes, I changed my life, then I became the one they liked

Now everyone will see, they were all the fools
For them to not believe that I'm the kid, that I'm the kid
And everyone will see, they were all the fools
For them to not believe that I'm the kid, that I'm the kid who's cool

(I'm the kid, I'm the kid who's cool)
(I'm the kid, I'm the kid who's cool)

Butter—butterfly, stuck in—stuck in—stuck inside your cocoon
The world doesn't see what you're turnin' into
But in time, you'll be on the other side
And they'll know who you were always meant to be

And everyone will see, they were all the fools
For them to not believe that I'm the kid, that I'm the kid
And everyone will see, they were all the fools
For them to not believe that I'm the kid, that I'm the kid who's cool
