Can’t Be Cool Forever Lyrics by Medium Build

Country

2024

[Verse 1]
I know we can't be cool forever
But we can stay plugged into life
I wanna listen and pay attention
I wanna fuck up and keep trying
I wanna write it down in pencil
Just in case I change my mind
[Verse 2]
I'm always coming up with reasons
That everybody out here sucks
But last week I saw a concert
Felt this universal crush
Kids were screaming in the theater
The band gave everything to us
[Verse 3]
I think the big pain of your twenties
Is not knowing where you fit
You've tried everything to feel something
'Til you're not curious
So once you get a little money
You team up and make some kids
[Chorus]
But your kids will have big questions
You'll be forced to pick a side
Do I tell them something easy
Or do I look them in the eye?
And say, "You can't be cool forever
But you can stay alive"
Stay alive
[Post-Chorus]
Stay alive
Go and play outside
I can't be cool forever
But I can stay alive
[Verse 4]
Jesus was a carpenter
My daddy sold TVs
My mom watched other people's kids
And anticipated needs
And when we'd go down to get groceries
I would flip through magazines
[Verse 5]
And I'd wish that I was skinny
Wish I was born as someone else
Even now, I play pretend
Rather than put a mirror on myself
But it's time to bite the bullet
This ain't Heaven, this ain't Hell
It's just life
[Outro]
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, oh) stay alive
(Oh, oh) and you can't be cool forever
But you can learn to stay alive
Bitch, stay alive
