Cool
Roy English Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
California dreams
Looked up through the bright lights
No stars that I see
You said, "It's all yours if you take it there"
I said, I can't do it alone, I swear
You said, "It's all yours
It's only you, you
Who loves me like you do, do
Trying to keep it cool, cool
But I can't keep cool about it
Acting like a fool, fool
Wanna scream it from the roof, roof
I'm trying to keep it cool, cool
But I can't keep cool about it, about it
Before you, love, I was lost
Drifting at sea
You were the beacon I followed home
You were the one who rescued me
You said, "It's all yours if you take it there"
I said, I can't do it alone, I swear
You said, "It's all yours
It's all yours when you smile"
It's only you, you
Who loves me like you do, do
Trying to keep it cool, cool
But I can't keep cool about it
Acting like a fool, fool
Wanna scream it from the roof, roof
I'm trying to keep it cool, cool
But I can't keep cool about it, about it
You said, "oh, whoa
I won't lose you, no, whoa"
It's only you, you
Who loves me like you do, do
Trying to keep it cool, cool
But I can't keep cool about it
Acting like a fool, fool
Wanna scream it from the roof, roof
I'm trying to keep it cool, cool
But I can't keep cool about it, about it
The song "Cool" by Roy English narrates the story of two lovers who found each other and have been happy since then. He describes his state of mind when he first met her through the lyrics, "I saw stars on the pavement, California dreams," which indicates the euphoria he felt when he found her. However, as he looks up and sees the bright city lights, he realizes that his state of mind does not match the reality of the situation as there are no stars in the sky. That’s when his lover tells him that everything he could ever want is his if he takes it. However, he confesses that he cannot achieve anything alone, and he needs her by his side.
The chorus illustrates the emotions of the singer when he is with his lover. He is trying to keep his cool around her, but he cannot contain his feelings. The verse "Acting like a fool, fool, Wanna scream it from the roof, roof I'm trying to keep it cool, cool. But I can't keep cool about it, about it" indicates the struggle that the singer faces when trying to keep his emotions in check in front of his lover. He feels overwhelmed by love, and he can't help but feel enthusiastic around her. He emphasizes the depth of the love he has found with the line, "Who loves me like you do," indicating that he has found someone who he thinks is his better half.

I knew a girl at my college who literally danced everywhere around campus. Not particularly good dancing but she obviously didn't care and it would make my day.
