[Intro: clipped guitar figure, bass and drums enter together] [Verse 1: conversational lead, 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: drums open, short emphatic hook] 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 phrases, bass keeps moving] 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: same hook, guitar answers in the 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 drop out, close unforced lead] 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: band returns, brief held vowel on "you"] 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, no final swell] You took your skates off I took my shoes off You said, "They pull to the left"
