[ti:Slow Down]
[00:04.18]Close the door and take the stairs
[00:06.66]Up or down, ups and downs
[00:10.57]Well, don't pretend you've never been there
[00:13.96]You kiss me like an over-dramatic actor
[00:17.74]Who's starving for work
[00:20.16]With one last shot to make it happen
[00:23.84]You've won the role, you've played your part
[00:26.34]You've been cordially invited
[00:29.00]But I'm not impressed, and I'm definitely not excited
[00:33.60]'Cause the film runs a shallow budget
[00:36.42]And the writer's subject script isn't any deeper
[00:41.15]So dive right in
[00:43.79]Hollywood hills and suburban thrills
[00:46.47]Hey you, who are you kidding?
[00:48.81]I'm not like them, I won't buy in
[00:54.04]Hollywood hills and suburban thrills
[00:56.50]Hey you, who are you kidding?
[00:59.28]Don't quit 'til 47
[01:01.42]Then we'll turn it up, and we'll play a little faster
[01:04.34]Take back everything you ever said
[01:07.19]You never meant a word of it
[01:11.54]You never did
[01:14.18]Take back everything you said
[01:17.60]You never meant a word of it
[01:21.51]You never did
[01:23.30]She said
[01:24.64]"Alright alright, slow down"
[01:27.07]Oh no, oh no, we won't
[01:29.48]'Cause I regret everything that I said
[01:34.82]To ever make her feel like she was something special
[01:38.82]Or that she ever really mattered
[01:41.50]Or did she ever really matter?
[01:44.16]Hollywood hills and suburban thrills
[01:46.48]Hey you, who are you kidding?
[01:48.94]I'm not like them, I won't buy in
[01:53.97]Hollywood hills and suburban thrills
[01:56.46]Just don't count on this summer
[01:58.89]Don't quit 'til 47
[02:01.69]Then we'll turn it up, and we'll play a little faster
[02:04.04]Take back everything you ever said
[02:07.43]You never meant a word of it
[02:11.31]You never did
[02:14.43]Take back everything you said
[02:17.41]You never meant a word of it
[02:20.94]You never did
[02:24.45]I'm not saying that I'm not breaking
[02:28.55]Some hearts tonight, girl oh oh
[02:34.08]I'm not saying that I'm not breaking
[02:38.58]Some hearts tonight, girl
[02:44.59]Alright, alright, slow down
[03:09.06]Take back everything you ever said
[03:12.83]You never meant a word of it
[03:16.25]You never did
[03:19.18]Take back everything you said
[03:22.65]You never meant a word of it
[03:25.88]You never did
[03:29.19]Hollywood hills and suburban thrills
[03:31.31]Hey you, who are you kidding?
[03:34.08]I'm not like them, I won't buy in
[03:39.23]Hollywood hills and suburban thrills
[03:41.68]Hey you, who are you kidding?
[03:44.32]I'm not like them, I won't buy in
[03:49.02]Hollywood hills and suburban thrills
[03:51.49]Hey you, who are you kidding?
[03:53.90]I'm not like them, I won't buy in

So listen up (so listen up)
I worked in daylight feeding fashion to housewives
For just this once (for just this once)
I'll take my chances on truck stops and state lines
Go ahead and tell them again
Well I think that I know that they won't remember
Go ahead and tell them twice
Yeah, twice is nice, but three times is just right

Hey, hey now we're almost home
I'm missing you to death, but it's all for the best, I know
Hey, hey we're not far from home
And I've got my pride, and I'll let you sleep tonight

So listen up (so listen up)
My old friends have been dropping like houseflies
The smoking gun (the smoking gun)
Still sits in my pocket and I know how to use it
Go ahead and tell them again
Well I think that I know that I won't forgive them
For turning their backs when we started to get busy
Well, yeah twice is fine, but three times is just right

Hey, hey now we're almost home
I'm missing you to death, but to each his own
Hey, hey we're not far from home
I've got my pride, and I'll let you sleep tonight

Hey, hey now we're almost home
I'm missing you to death, missing you to death, oh
Hey, hey we're not far from home
I swallow my pride and push back my seat tonight

I'm on my feet
I'm on my feet
I'm on my feet
I'm on my feet (this isn't like us anyway)
I'm on my feet (this isn't like us anyway)
I'm on my feet (this isn't like us anyway)
This isn't like us anyway

I'm running
Our time is almost
Our time is almost here
Our time is almost
Our time is almost here
Our time is almost
Our time is almost here
Our time is almost
Our time is almost here
Our time is almost
Our time is almost here
Our time is almost
Our time is almost here
Our time is almost
Our time is almost here
