Play It Cool

Lyrics

Written & Recorded 2/2/2026

Wait on your call High before the fall They say to give it time That’s not what I’m good at doing

Here in bed Replaying what was said Questions in my head Distracted by your eyes again

(Instrumental Chorus)

Wake up and feel Sting of all that is real Try and move on past Tell myself this never lasts

Think I’ll just hide Leave the love outside Shut myself away Til it comes back anyway

Believe you me I’ve tried To play it cool, in stride Believe you me I’ve tried

So sweet and sad and quiet, I love that your chorus is this great musical refrain. Elliot Smith vibes here! Thank you for making this, I'm checking out the rest of your work!

Dreamy, vulnerable. Love this!

The line “Leave the love outside” really hits in your lyrics.

Hushed vocals giving some Xavier Rudd vibes I think maybe? Lovely guitar. Just my sort of stuff this.

OOO, I'm unfamiliar with him - added to the playlist. Thank you so much for listening 😀
