I Forgot to Slow Down lyrics

I was always somewhere else when you needed me to be presentAlways on my phone or on my wayI told myself that busy was the same thing as providingAnd I missed so many ordinary daysThe school play, the breakfast, all the in-between momentsThe ones I thought would always come aroundI was building something out there in the distanceWhile the real thing happened on the groundI forgot to slow downI forgot to just be hereI forgot that all the rushingWould one day disappearI forgot that you were watchingEvery single thing I didI forgot to slow downAnd be present for my kidsI forgot to slow downI can't get back theTuesday afternoon you fell asleepAgainst me on the couch watching cartoonsI can't get back theSaturday I skipped to answer emailsBut I can get back every afternoon from nowBecause you're still here and I'm still learningWhat it means to trade the urgent for the trueAnd every time I put the phone down on the tableI'm choosing the best version of being there for youI forgot to slow downI forgot to just be hereI forgot that all the rushingWould one day disappearI forgot that you were watchingEvery single thing I didI forgot to slow downAnd be present for my kidsI forgot to slow downBut I remember nowI remember nowAnd that's enough to start againI remember nowSlow downBe hereSlow downI'm here now
