[Verse 1]
Van full of snacks
Crumbs on the map
Mask on the dash
We’re chasing some “ghost” again
You trip on air
Laugh in my face
I catch your hand
Then pretend that I didn’t
[Chorus]
Scooby Doo
Every time I get close I lose my cool
Heart goes zooom when I sit next to you
You say “jinkies” when I stare too long
Scooby Doo
I’m the clue that you keep looking through
Trying hard not to give myself away
Like a villain at the end of the chase
[Verse 2]
Fog on the pier
You’re brushing my sleeve
Say you’re not scared
But you’re walking real close tonight
Flash of a light
We both scream loud
Then crack up hard
Till my courage slips out my mouth
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Ruh-roh
I said it
Words fell out
Can’t edit
“Maybe I kinda like you”
Hanging in the air like a bad disguise
You pull off my fear
Laugh in my ear
Say “I was waiting
Dummy”
Then we both run
Hand in hand
From the guy in the rubber mask
[Chorus]

Musikstyle
Playful pop-punk bounce with crunchy guitars and a springy bass line, midtempo. Verses are half-spoken, half-sung with tight drums and gang shouts on key words. Chorus explodes with big stacked harmonies and “whoa-oh” responses. Add goofy percussion fills and cartoonish synth blips; leave pockets for ad-libs and character voices.
