lyrics

Barely sad, I'm barely sad
Just enough to act modestly
As if I wanted modesty
They all know what honest means
They just don't see it on me

I'm barely cool, I'm barely cool
It's that "act cool" cool act,
That "barely follows rules" act
That "no one's ever fooled" act
But you already knew that

I've been barely cool for a while
"Cool" with a wink and a smile
But I'm cooler than you, cooler than you are
With or without buzz
I've barely started and this is barely hard for me
I'll stop myself if nobody else does

Barely mad, I'm barely mad
Oh, bitterness is different,
It's hit or miss with listeners
So I limit the risk with
That symptomatic distance

I'm barely dead, I'm barely dead
Unless I misuse barely,
Which I confuse with "buried"
Cause all I'm doing's staring,
My attitude just scares me.

I've been barely cool for a while
"Cool" with a wink and a smile
But I'm cooler than you, cooler than you are
With or without buzz
I've barely started and this is barely hard for me
I'll stop myself if nobody else does
