Great, Cool

Great, Cool Lyrics

A/N:

This short story was inspired by the lyrics of the song Great,Cool. I strongly encourage you to watch the youtube video as the performers are absolutely amazing! If you don't well the lyrics are below and I hope the song moves you as much as it moved me.

I was reading the Times, which is something I never do.

When I stumbled across an article with a picture of you.

Some kind of grant or some award,

doing research going towards something smart.

And you looked really cheery.

I cut it out and put it in a book

that's filled with pictures of us,

in case I want another look.

At what we had and what was good

and how we both did what we should have done,

To make sure we won.  

Check this out, you're famous in Japan.

No really that song you wrote at fifteen is all over Japan.

So I'm overseas you're on the radio,

and I'm thinking gee I'm glad to know you're there.

You made it everywhere. 

But see, the truth is I miss you just so you know.

And this path that I've chosen gets lonelier as I go.

We said some things in the past. Maybe we were confused

that our love wouldn't last, so we broke and we refused

to try together, fly together you and I.

So it's great, cool.

It's fine, cool.

It's wonderful it's cool.

It's great, cool, having love that everyone wanted.

Great, cool, to feel so unbound,

but sometimes I feel like I was such a fool.

But it all turned out great, right?

Cool.
