    This song tells a story through three verses and choruses about a movie being filmed in the singer's hometown. In the first verse, the singer says they aren't a movie star but can "get behind anything." The choruses explain that sometimes the faster something gets, the less you need to know, but you have to remember the smarter it gets, the further it's going to go. The final verse returns to the movie filming and the singer saying they can't catch whoever they're referring to, but they can "get behind anything."
