"Slow Down"
Song

The song "Slow Down", by Chicago rock band The Academy Is..., was their second single off their album, Almost Here

Lyrics: Close the door and take the stairs up or down? Ups and downs, well don't pretend you've never been there. You kiss me like an overdramatic actor who's starving for work, with one last shot to make it happen. You've won the role, you've played your part, you've been cordially invited. But I'm not impressed and I'm definitley not excited, because the films runs a shallow budget, and the writer's subject script isn't any deeper. So dive right in...Hollywood hills and suburban thrills, hey you, who are you kidding i'm not like them. I won't buy in. Don't quit 'til 47 and then we'll turn it up and play a little faster. Take back everything you ever said you never meant a word of it. You never did. She said 'Alright, 'Alright, slow down!" Oh no, oh no, we won't, 'cause I regret every word I said to make her feel like she was something special, or that she ever really mattered. Did she ever really matter? Hollywood hills and suburban thrills, just don't count on this summer. Don't quit 'til 47. Then we'll turn it up and play a little faster. I'm not saying that I'm not breaking some hearts tonight girl. Alright, alright, slow down...
