lyrics

So you think you're in love, but that wasn't enough, apparently
Ah, she must have misjudged to let you go through that stuff, apparently

When the tryst is made and she wants to cool down
Will your feelings fade if you drag them around?
Or is there some way back?
Can you cool down this time?
Cool down

Well, you know that she cared
But you shouldn't have dared so excessively
Maybe you should be scared
Don't let all that you've shared be the death of me
When her whims have passed and she wants to cool down
Will your feelings last if you kick them around?
Or is there some way out?
Can you cool down this time? Cool down

It doesn't matter what you said you would lose
You've released what you've given
But you don't have to choose to leave it
Just cool down

I wouldn't take you seriously anyway
Have you had enough?
Then cool down
Just cool down

I must say that you're looking surprisingly sane
You must be getting accustomed to seething in pain
You're almost normal

When her choice is made and she wants to cool down
Will your feelings fade or will they drag you down?
Or is there someway through?

I wouldn't take you seriously anyway
Have you had enough?
Then just stop killing yourself, boy, and cool down
Just cool down
