Velcro
Clairity Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm dancing with my elbows
I hack into your cellphone
The cool kids got those shell-toes
But I look good in velcro
But I look good in velcro
But I look good in velcro

Fall asleep to techno
I make up my own tempo
A prom date told me "Hell no"
I still look good in velcro
I still look good in velcro
But I look good in velcro

Nobody wants to dance with me
Don't wanna dance with nobody
I don't wanna dance with nobody
If you feel sexy in your skin
You don't need anybody
You could, you could be anybody

In this moment, I own it
Can't seem to keep the rhythm
But I know it, I know it
So I change up momentum
I control it, and I mold it
Don't fit in, but I'm golden
I still look good in velcro
I still look good in velcro

I still play with LEGOs
Crush a bag of pretzels
Who the hell's Tiesto?
I look good in velcro
I look good in velcro
I look good in velcro

My best friend did Nintendo
This level has no help codes
I never left the friend zone
But I still look good in velcro
I still look good in velcro
But I look good in velcro

Nobody wants to dance with me
Don't wanna dance with nobody
I don't wanna dance with nobody
If you feel sexy in your skin
You don't need anybody
You could, you could be anybody

In this moment, I own it
Can't seem to keep the rhythm
But I know it, I know it
So I change up momentum
I control it, and I mold it
Don't fit in, but I'm golden
I still look good in velcro
I still look good in velcro

Nobody wants to dance with me
Don't wanna dance with nobody
I don't wanna dance with nobody
If you feel sexy in your skin
You don't need anybody
You could, you could be anybody

In this moment, I own it
Can't seem to keep the rhythm
But I know it, I know it
So I change up momentum
I control it, and I mold it
Don't fit in, but I'm golden
I still look good in velcro
I still look good in velcro

I look good in velcro
I still look good in velcro
I look good in velcro




I still look good in velcro
I still look good in velcro
