Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
It's hard to remember how it felt before Now I found the love of my life Passes things, get more comfortable Everything is going right And after all the obstacles It's good to see you now with someone else And it's such a miracle that you and me are still good friends After all that we've been through I know we're cool I know we're cool We used to think it was impossible Now you call me by my new last name Memories seem like so long ago Time always kills the pain Remember Harbor Boulevard The dreaming days where the mess was made Look how all the kids have grown, oh We have changed but we're still the same After all that we've been through I know we're cool I know we're cool Yeah, I know we're cool And I'll be happy for you If you can be happy for me Circles and triangles And now we're hanging out with your new girlfriend So far from where we've been I know we're cool I know we're cool C-cool Ah ah I know we're cool I know we're cool C-cool yeah I know we're cool Me and you are cool
