[Verse 1]
Sweet life livin'
Pools and swimming
Drinks in bars and
Boys in cars and
Rooftop sitting
Scared like we're in
Shooting stars and
Plastic cars and
[Pre-Chorus]
That weekend up in the islands
They stop and stare
Flashes filling the silence
Our eyes will never fail
Waking up in the islands
Cause I saw you there
Also trying to be
[Chorus]
I was just trying to be cool
I was just trying to be like you
I'm a spark and you're a boom
What am I supposed to do?
[Verse 2]
Mentioning of you
Love it too
An absent father
Pays his darling
And I want to know the truth
From the life they once knew
She had her heart broke
She's holding it out for
[Pre-Chorus]
That weekend up in the islands
They stop and stare
Flashes filling the silence
Our eyes will never fail
Waking up in the islands
Cause I saw you there
Also trying to be
[Chorus]
I was just trying to be cool
I was just trying to be like you
I'm a spark and you're a boom
What am I supposed to do?
[Bridge]
I got that feeling you smoke
I said I'll cope
But nothing is feeling right
I dream that I choke
Of love without telling you
I was just trying to be cool
I was just trying to be like you
[Outro]
I was just trying to be cool
I was just trying to be like you
I'm a spark and you're a boom
What am I supposed to do?
They stop and stare
I said I'll cope
But nothing is feeling right
I dream that I choke
Of love without telling you
I was just trying to be cool
I was just trying to be like you
