[Intro: short upper-string chords; bass answers, tight closed hats] [Verse 1: late entrances, quick middle syllables, clipped endings; dry single lead] 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: separate hook attacks against snare; double title lines only; guitar stops between phrases] 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 diction; bent guitar interruptions after lines] 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: title double returns; bass climbs during vocal gaps] 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 bright guitar drop; low-key dry 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: one high answering voice on final title; stop-start band accents] 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: bass and short guitar chords; plain single lead] You took your skates off I took my shoes off You said, "They pull to the left"
