Cool
Embracing Rebel Hearts: KIRWAN's "Cool" Essence
Lyrics
Maybe we ain't storefront front pages
Perhaps we are not featured prominently on the front pages of magazines or media.
Maybe we ain't trendsetters or tastemakers
We may not be influencers or creators of popular trends.
We ain't closing down every bar in town with a cigarette hanging out of our mouths
We aren't the type to close down every bar in town with a cigarette in our mouths.
Nobody's gonna know it but we know it, we know it
Our actions may go unnoticed by others, but we acknowledge and understand them.
