My Mom Says I'm Cool
Dreaming of Escapes: A Melodic Journey Beyond Heartbreak
Lyrics
Why do my dreams
The singer is questioning the recurring presence of certain dreams.
Bring me back to you
The dreams are associated with the person addressed in the lyrics.
After all that you put me through
Reflecting on past hardships caused by that person.
You made me lose my cool
The person's actions led to the singer losing their composure.
Brought me to my knees
The impact of the person's actions brought the singer to a vulnerable state.
Made me want to move away
Feeling compelled to escape, considering moving to the Florida Keys.
To the Florida Keys
Describing the desire for a change to a place with sunny beaches.
Sunny beaches
Continuation of the desire for a change in location.
I could go
Expressing openness to moving to sunny beaches in the Florida Keys.
But instead I settled for
Instead of a tropical location, the singer settled for Buffalo, perhaps symbolizing compromise.
Buffalo
Reflecting on the irony of choosing Buffalo over a more desirable location.
How could someone oh so pretty
Acknowledging the attractiveness of the person causing conflicting emotions.
Make me want to leave my city
Expressing the impact of the person's attractiveness on the desire to leave the current city.
It doesn't make much sense to me
Confusion about the conflicting emotions caused by the person's allure.
You made me lose my head
Describing the emotional impact, feeling disoriented or overwhelmed.
Made me wish that I was dead
Exaggeration of emotional distress, not literal death wishes.
Made me want to move away
Reiterating the desire to move away due to emotional turmoil.
And live somewhere else instead
Expressing a wish to live elsewhere to escape emotional turmoil.
I think I've met all of your exes
Suggesting knowledge of the person's past relationships.
Because now
Transitioning to the current residence in Texas.
I reside
Highlighting the shift in location and current dwelling place.
Here in Texas
Specifically mentioning Texas as the current residence.
California broke my heart
Recalling a past emotional setback caused by California.
So why do I dream of you
Raising the question of why dreams still revolve around the person despite past heartbreak.

Questioning the persistence of dreams involving the person despite negative experiences.
