[Verse 1]
Showin’ off in the cul-de-sac
Kickflip
Land it
Almost crack my back
You laugh so hard
You spill your drink
I play it off
Pretend I meant that thing

[Pre-Chorus]
You say
“You’re kind of weird”
I say
“Yeah
That’s fair”
Heart in my hoodie pocket
Tryin’ not to stare

[Chorus]
I don’t know what I’m doing
But I’m doin’ it to impress you anyway
Talk too fast
Keep trippin’
On every single stupid word I say
If I crash and burn today
At least I tried to make you stay
I don’t know what I’m doing
But I’m doin’ it to impress you anyway (hey!)

[Verse 2]
Play my band’s song from my cracked-up phone
You nod along
Say the chorus feels “almost grown”
You steal my hat
Spin around in my shoes
I’d write a thousand verses just to get that view

[Pre-Chorus]
You say
“You’re kind of sweet”
Then you look away
Now my brain’s on fire
And my jokes go strange

[Chorus]
I don’t know what I’m doing
But I’m doin’ it to impress you anyway
Talk too loud
Keep laughin’
At every little dumb thing that you say
If I crash and burn today
At least I tried to make you stay
I don’t know what I’m doing
But I’m doin’ it to impress you anyway

[Bridge]
[Drums drop to toms
Gang vocals]
Tell me I’m ridiculous (ridiculous)
Tell me I’m a mess (a mess)
I’ll still stand here
In this same old vest
Till you write your name
Right across my chest (whoa-oh)

[Chorus]
I don’t know what I’m doing
But I’m doin’ it to impress you anyway
Spin me round
I’m dizzy
On every little look you throw my way
If I crash and burn today
Promise you’ll remember me that way
I don’t know what I’m doing
But I’m doin’ it to impress you anyway (whoa-oh)
To impress you anyway
