Different Kind of Cool

Verse 1 They got the right shoes, right hair, right pose Standing in a line like everybody knows How to look the same without making a sound How to keep their feet stuck to the ground I got a jacket with a story on the sleeve A couple weird dreams that I still believe Maybe I’m not what they’d choose But I never wanted their shoes Pre-Chorus I don’t need a spotlight I don’t need their rules I don’t need to look like them To know I’m something cool Chorus I’m a different kind of cool Not the one they teach in school Not the clean, perfect, polished kind I’m the sparks-flying-out-of-my-mind kind I’m a different kind of free A little strange, but that’s just me If I don’t fit inside their view I’m a different kind of cool Verse 2 I don’t talk smooth, but I talk real I don’t hide the things I feel I’ll take the long way, take my time Draw my own map, cross my own line They can laugh like they understand But I’ve got thunder in both my hands Maybe I’m not what they planned Good thing I don’t need permission to stand Pre-Chorus I don’t need a spotlight I don’t need their rules I don’t need to look like them To know I’m something cool Chorus I’m a different kind of cool Not the one they teach in school Not the clean, perfect, polished kind I’m the sparks-flying-out-of-my-mind kind I’m a different kind of free A little strange, but that’s just me If I don’t fit inside their view I’m a different kind of cool Bridge Cool can be quiet Cool can be loud Cool can be standing Alone in a crowd Cool can be messy Cool can be true Cool doesn’t have to Look just like you Final Chorus I’m a different kind of cool Not the one they teach in school Not the clean, perfect, polished kind I’m the sparks-flying-out-of-my-mind kind I’m a different kind of free A little strange, but that’s just me If I don’t fit inside their view I’m a different kind of cool Outro Different kind of cool Different kind of cool A little strange But that’s just me
