Cool About It - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Baker]

Met you at the dive bar to go shoot some pool

And make fun of the cowboys with the neck tattoos

Ask you easy questions about work and school

I'm trying to be cool about it

Feelin' like an absolute fool about it

Wishin' you were kind enough to be cruel about it

Tellin' myself I can always do without it

Knowing that it probably isn't true

[Verse 2: Dacus, All]

I came prepared for absolution, if you'd only ask

So I take some offense when you say, "No regrets"

I remember it's impossible to pass your test

[Chorus: All, Dacus]

But I'm trying to forget about it

Feelin' like I'm breaking a sweat about it

Wishin' you would kindly get out of my head about it

Tеllin' myself, one day, I'll forget about it

Knowing that it probably isn't truе

[Verse 3: Bridgers, All]

Once, I took your medication to know what it's like

And now I have to act like I can't read your mind

I ask you how you're doing and I let you lie

But we don't have to talk about it

I can walk you home and practice method acting

I'll pretend bein' with you doesn't feel like drowning

Tellin' you it's nice to see how good you're doing

Even though we know it isn't true
