I was reading the Times
Which is something I never do
When I stumbled upon 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 in a book
That's filled with pictures of us
In case I wanted 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
So it's great, cool
Making headlines just like you wanted
Great, cool
With your dreams off the ground
So you are great, cool
Exactly where you need to be
But was it worth you and me?
Check this out
You're famous in Japan
No really, that song you wrote at 15
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
It's great, cool
Finding success like you wanted
Great, cool
And from the way that it sounds
You're doing great, cool
I hope it's what you thought it'd be
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
Great, cool
It's fine, cool
It's wonderful
It's cool
It's great (great)
Cool (cool)
Having love that everyone wanted
Great (great)
Cool (cool)
To be so unbound but
Sometimes I feel like I was such a fool
But it all turned out great
Right?
Cool
End
