Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 over-dramatic actor
Who's starving for work
With one last shot to make it happen
[Verse 2]
You won the role, you've played your part
You've been cordially invited
But I'm not impressed, and I'm definitely not excited
'Cause the film runs a shallow budget
And the writer's subject script isn't any deeeper
So dive right in
[Verse 3]
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills
Hey, you, who are you kidding?
I'm not like them, I won't buy in
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills
Hey, you, who are you kidding?
Don't quit till 47
Then we'll turn it up, we will play a little faster
[Verse 4]
(Take back) Take back everything you've ever said
You never meant a word of it
You never did
(Take back) Take back everything you've said
You never meant a word of it
You never did
[Verse 5]
She said, "Alright, alright, slow down"
Oh, no, oh, no, we won't
'Cause I regret everything that I said
To ever make her feel like she was something special
Or that she ever really mattered
Or did she ever really matter?
[Verse 6]
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills
Hey, you, who are you kidding?
I'm not like them, I won't buy in
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills
Just don't count on this summer
Don't quit till 47
And then we'll turn it up, and we'll play a little faster
[Verse 7]
(Take back) Take back everything you've ever said
You never meant a word of it
You never did
(Take back) Take back everything you've said
You never meant a word of it
You never did
[Verse 8]
I'm not sayin' that I'm not breakin' some hearts tonight, girl, oh
I'm not sayin' that I'm not breakin' some hearts tonight, girl
Alright, alright, slow down
[Verse 9]
(Take back) Take back everything you've ever said
You never meant a word of it
You never did
(Take back) Take back everything you've said
You never meant a word of it
You never did (You never did)
[Verse 10]
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills
Hey, you, who are you kidding?
I'm not like them (Not like them) I won't buy in (Won't buy in)
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills
Hey, you, who are you kidding?
I'm not like them (Not like them) I won't buy in (Won't buy in)
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills
Hey, you, who are you kidding?
I'm not like them (Not like them) I won't buy in (Won't buy in)
