Outside, bum another cigarette
Don't love the smoke, just the fog of finally fitting in

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

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
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

Inside, pour myself another cup
Fake smile, drink until it's real enough

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

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
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

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

White jeans
And my Nikes
I've been playing it cool
Got the Louis
With the gold V
I've been breaking my rules
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
