[Verse 1]
Can we start over again?
I have been missing you
Can we start over again?
I have been missing
We didn't know what it was
We didn't know if it was love
I didn't know I couldn't get too deep
I didn't know you couldn't swim
I didn't know we wouldn't float
I didn't know much at all
(I didn't know much at all)
[Chorus]
Stupid people, self destructive in a way
Stupid people, left with love alone again
Stupid people, they let their guard down, down
Stupid person, you let me down, you let me down
You let me down
[Verse 2]
No, we're not anything
But I have been missing you
No, we're not anything
But I have been missing
All the shit that makes us more than friends
And in the end, we were more than all the shit that makes us friends
You want to pretend that this was only sex, no feelings, babe
I can't pretend the love was too strong to break up on
I write a song about you, about the greatest fall
Truth of it is, we didn't know much at all
[Bridge]
You let me down again
You let me down again, again
You let me down again
You let me down
Oh, why? Oh, why?
Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?
All of these hopes
[Chorus]
Stupid people, self destructive in a way (All the stupid people)
Stupid people, left with love alone again (Why did you let me go?)
Stupid people, they let their guard down, down
Stupid person, you let me down, you let me down
You let me down

We filmed it [at] a farm nearby to where I live. It’s got 2 lovely couples in it, they’re all loved up. And then it’s just got me singing emotionally in a field, really! It was a good day out.
The story is essentially a longing for a relationship that didn’t work and later realising it was stupid to have wanted it in the first place. It’s not exact to my own experience, but I’ve gathered up all the feeling expressed in the song from various situations in my past and put them all together...
