lyrics

You personify our cuddly toys,
The food on our plates, the dust on the floor.
At first I couldn’t see,
But now you make me weep at the sight of a lonely pea.

I’ll admit I grew my hair to look like Harry Styles,
And I know it seemed that much better in my mind,
But I’m in love with you and you’re in love with me,
Despite the fact my band will never be as cool as 1D.

We are fine,
Though we deal in cruelty,
We’ll be alright,
Though we feel misery,
We are fine,
‘Cause it’s all cool beans,
It’s all cool beans.

I’ve learnt to deal with our salty moments,
I love that we laugh at our attempts at condolences,
25 and our innocence has died,
But that don’t mean we’ll ever grow up inside.

We are fine,
Though we deal in cruelty,
We’ll be alright,
Though we feel misery,
We are fine,
‘Cause it’s all cool beans,
It’s all cool beans.

I had a dream about Lorde again,
We went for coffee then she became my girlfriend,
But when I woke up I felt like a coward,
Then you poked me on the cheek and said “You’re not Brandon Flowers!”

We are fine,
Though we deal in cruelty,
We’ll be alright,
Though we feel misery,
We are fine,
It’s all cool beans.

We are fine,
Though you’ve got cooties,
We’ll be alright,
I think we’re happy,
We are fine,
‘Cause it’s all cool beans,
It’s all cool beans.
