Everything Is Cool
Reel Big Fish Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm so glad you're gone, you just led me on
Where did it go wrong, too bad for too long
I live without you know
I'll get along some how

I don't care anyway, I just wanted to say
Everything is cool
How are things with you
Everything is cool

I wish you were dead
You say we'll be friends, that just means no sex,
I don't care what you say
I'm tired of fucking you anyway

I guess it is my fault
But do you blame you at all
I'll have to let you go
I just want you to know that

Everything is cool
How are things with you,




Everything is cool,
I wish you were dead!
