Faking Cool From "We Aren't Kids Anymore" Studio Cast Recording

I was never the cool kid growing up. I was liked just well enough. Created space to find escape in making Too much sound. No hickeys on my neck. Never tried out cigarettes. I made some friends, I made some music. Then I wrote it down. Never told enough of a story. Never felt the right to complain. I always felt like a cul-de-sac and my kind Of upbringing coulda held me back. Artists from the suburbs are so dumb to explain. 'Cause there's much more to life than what's black And white. Can't stay waiting for the colors to Appear. Have me figured out, not a bit of doubt. Well, guess again because you have the wrong idea. I'm faking it for you. I'm faking it for you. Everything I do Comes from a borrowed set of tools. I'm faking it for you. How could I be your idea of cool? I always think it's close to outrageous. You can't tell I'm insecure. I guess the grin is a giveaway that I'm Feeling like a winner who can live today. But see I pose that I'm so painfully unsure. Guess your mind is made, call a spade a Spade. Can't stay waiting for the truth to come To you. Have me figured out, can't hear me when I Shout. The truth is that you haven't got a Clue. I'm faking it for you. I'm faking it for you. Everything I do comes from a borrowed set of Tools. I'm faking it for you. How could I be your idea of cool? It takes a lot to write a story. A need that's sometimes out of place. I'll write it out about the struggles and the Glory, and wear a smile on my face. But I don't understand a word I'm saying. Now I'm shouting in the dark and I start Praying. That you continue thinking that I'm the guy you Always thought I was. 'Cause there's much more to life than what's black And white. Can't stay waiting for the colors to Appear. Have me figured out, not a bit of doubt. Well, guess again because you have the wrong idea. I'm faking it for you. I'm faking it for you. Everything I do comes from a borrowed set of Tools. I'm faking it for you. I'm faking it for you. I'm faking it for you. Everything I do Comes from a borrowed set of tools. I'm faking it for you. How could I be your idea of cool?
