Asher Book with his friends celebrating his 21st birthday in Las Vegas

I know i misbehaved
And you made your mistakes
And we both still got room left to grow
And though love sometimes hurts
I still put you first
And we’ll make this thing work
But I think we should take it slow

[Chorus]

We’re just ordinary people
We don’t know which way to go
’cause we’re ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we’ll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we’ll take it slow

[Verse 2]

This ain’t a movie no
No fairy tale conclusion ya’ll
It gets more confusing everyday
Sometimes it’s heaven sent
Then we head back to hell again
We kiss and we make up on the way

I hang up you call
We rise and we fall
And we feel like just walking away
As our love advances
We take second chances
Though it’s not a fantasy
I Still want you to stay

[Chorus]

We’re just ordinary people
We don’t know which way to go
’cause we’re ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we’ll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we’ll take it slow

[Verse 3]

Take it slow
Maybe we’ll live and learn
Maybe we’ll crash and burn
Maybe you’ll stay, maybe you’ll leave,
Maybe you’ll return
Maybe another fight,
Maybe we won’t survive
But maybe we’ll grow
We never know baby youuuu and I

[Chorus]

We’re just ordinary people
We don’t know which way to go(hey)
’cause we’re ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Heyyy)
We’re just ordinary people
We don’t know which way to go
’cause we’re ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we’ll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we’ll take it slow
Take it sloww
Take it slow
This time we’ll take it slow

If i walk would you run
If i stop would you come
If i say you’re the one would you believe me
If i ask you to stay would you show me the way
Tell me what to say so you don’t leave me
The world is catching up to you
While your running away to chase your dream
It’s time for us to make a move cause we are asking one another to change
And maybe i’m not ready

Chorus
But i’m trying for your love
I can hide up above
I will try for your love
We’ve been hiding enough

If i sing you a song would you sing along
Or wait till i’m gone, oh how we push and pull
If i give you my heart would you just play the part
Or tell me it’s the start of something beautiful
Am i catching up to you
While your running away, to chase your dreams
It’s time for us to face the truth cause we are coming to each other to change
And maybe i’m not ready

Chorus
But i’m trying for your love
I can hide up above
I will try for your love
We’ve been hiding enough

I will try for your love
I can hide up above

2x huh huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh huh huhhh

If i walk would you run
If i stop would you come

Here is a recent press release from the Associated Press with some great quotes from Asher:

Asher Book has revealed how grateful he is to be working in showbiz.

The 21-year-old, who plays aspiring singer Marco in the new Fame movie, is aware of showbiz being a fickle industry but said he’d never take fame for granted.”I think you lose grasp of what fame really is because I think you feel much more gratitude and it’s a more humbling experience when you finally achieve it after years of working at it and getting to that point,“ he said.

“Why have we been in this business since five, six years old? It’s what we love to do, so getting to a point where we get to do this, to do interviews and flying to different countries and do crazy stuff, yes it’s hard work but it’s so enjoyable because we can say, ‘Wow, look how far we’ve come.’ You know?”

Asher has experienced how tough the business can be – he was rejected for the role in the Fame remake, before he was hired again.

“Yeah, I was more or less fighting for this role for about six months,” he said.

“At one point I was told I hadn’t got in, so I was pretty much heartbroken at that point. You just have to go all out with all your heart because you never know [what's going to happen]. Everything can turn around, so you just have to have faith.”

He also sat down with Artist Direct on Tuesday and talked about V Factory’s forthcoming debut album, how his role in Fame felt close to home, and the ultimate balancing act of it all.   Here’s what Asher had to say about the upcoming single”

Our latest single features Naturi Naughton who I play opposite of in Fame. She’s the main girl in it, and she has a killer voice so we had her do something on our track “Get Up,” and it sounds incredible. We’re excited! We’re about to put that track out too. We worked together on the movie and we really clicked. Obviously, we both sing in the movie. It was just one of those things. Our A&R guy actually came up with the idea. He said, “Asher, what would you think of Naturi sang on a track?” I was like, “That’s a really good idea.” I told her about it, and she loved it. She got in the studio as soon as she could, and she did amazing.

There is also another exclusive interview with Asher on Jsyk.com.   Here is an interesting quote from that interview:

I think what’s good about our movie is that it’s different from High School Musical in a sense that it’s not [just] kids walking down the hall, singing — it’s not an instant thing. I think what our movie really capitalizes on is the work ethic that’s involved and what kids actually have to go through to be in the performing arts and to be in this business. It shows the fact that you might get turned down and you might not do well in an audition, but it gives you hope to do better and gives you the outcome of what we all go through. We all just strive to do better and work hard, so I think there’s definitely more of what artists really truly go through. I think it will inspire kids to be like, “Oh my gosh, I can do the same thing!”
