Lyrics

It's hard to remember how it felt before
Now I found the love of my life
Passes things get more comfortable
Everything is going right

And after all the obstacles
It's good to see you now with someone else
And it's such a miracle
That you and me are still good friends
After all that we've been through
I know we're cool
I know we're cool

And we used to think it was impossible
Now you call me by my new last name
Memories seem like so long ago
Time always kills the pain

Remember Harbor Boulevard
The dreaming days where the mess was made
Look how all the kids have grown
Oh, we have changed but we're still the same
After all that we've been through
I know we're cool
I know we're cool

Yeah, I know we're cool

And I'll be happy for you
If you can be happy for me
Circles and triangles,
And now we're hangin' out
With your new girlfriend
So far from where we've been
I know we're cool

I know we're cool
C-cool
I know we're cool

I know we're cool
C-cool
Yeah, I know we're cool
Play with the song, fill the gaps
