Lyrics
They're late to class
They are late for class.
Cause they're cooler than me
Because they are considered cooler than the speaker.
They get a pass
They receive special treatment or exemption.
In the hierarchy
Within the social hierarchy, they hold a privileged position.
I'll see the guys
The speaker observes other guys on the basketball team.
On the basketball team
The basketball team members are perceived as cool.
And say they're cool
The speaker acknowledges their coolness.
I think they're cool
The speaker personally thinks they are cool.
Listen
A call for attention or emphasis on the upcoming message.
Listen to me scream
An expression of intense emotion or frustration.
Listen
A request for an explanation or understanding.
Tell me what it means
The speaker seeks clarification on the meaning of coolness.
To be cool
A reflection on the concept of being cool.
To be just like you
Desire to emulate or conform to the standards of others considered cool.
To be cool
Reiteration of the aspiration to be cool.
To be just like you
Expressing the desire to be like those perceived as cool.
She likes star signs
A girl is interested in astrology and having a good time.
And a good time
Highlighting her enjoyable and sociable nature.
But I knew
The speaker realizes she is beyond their league.
That she was out of my league
Acknowledging her unattainability.
Never told her
The speaker never confesses feelings due to a fear of rejection.
That I'd hold her
Even if the speaker had the chance, they refrain from holding her.
Cause I knew
Recognition that the girl dislikes losers like the speaker.
She hated losers like me
Acceptance of one's perceived inadequacy.
Listen
A repetition of the call for attention or emphasis.
Listen to me scream
Reiteration of intense emotion or frustration.
Listen
Repeating the request for understanding.
Tell me what it means
Seeking clarification on the meaning of coolness.
To be cool
