From the recording Ails, Fails and Fairytales
Lyrics
Why even bother to show up
Cause school’s a waste of time.
All those boys thinking they want you
Need to get in line
Your dress is hiked up and you think you got class
But you’re doing too much and you’re going too fast.
Your momma’s head is always spinning
But she’ll just wear you down
She says to be safe and stay home
But you’re staying out on the town
You say you’re in love but you know it won’t last
Cause you’re doing too much and you’re going too fast
CHORUS:
Slow down
You’re gonna give yourself a heart attack
Slow down
You gotta get yourself back on track
Now you’re saying no one understands you
You need to get away
Trying to stick out your thumb to
Find a place to stay
You wanna stay young but the years will fly past
When you’re doing too much and you’re going too fast.
Need to get your shit all sorted out
Get your head on straight
Find the time to get to know yourself
You know, it’s never too late
Know you got my love and you know it won’t last
Keep doing too much and going too fast
CHORUS
