[Intro: clipped guitar; picked bass and dry drums enter together] [Verse 1: close nasal-grained lead; hang back, then catch up; guitar leaves gaps] You found skates at the Salvation Army One red wheel and a permanent lean You said, "They work if you don't mind falling" I said, "I don't," then stayed in my seat You took the turn with your elbows out I watched the cars You watched your feet [Chorus: hats open; wiry hook attacks, loose unison double; low H3000 -12/+12-cent width] Let it look stupid Let it look good on you You've got a move I've got an excuse Let it look stupid [Verse 2: quicker catch-up syllables; narrow lead, moving bass] The kid on the BMX gave you ten You missed his hand and nearly ate it You went back round to try again I laughed too hard and tried to hide it You called me over I checked my phone No one had called I should've known [Chorus: reversed first-vowel swell into entrance; restore double and width; shallow flange on held tails] Let it look stupid Let it look good on you You've got a move I've got an excuse Let it look stupid [Bridge: drums and vocal effects drop; dry single lead, unforced admission] At fifteen I could clear three steps Then somebody laughed and I quit I've told that story like they broke my legs You said, "That's a long time to sit" [Chorus: full band returns; hook double and width, hold "you" briefly] Let it look stupid Let it look good on you You've got a move I've got an excuse Let it look stupid [Outro: guitar and bass only; dry single voice, plain final remark] You took your skates off I took my shoes off You said, "They pull to the left"
