[Verse 1]

I was spinning through the air when I thought my life was ending

But I was really on the ground, and you were lying right there next to me

I looked right into your eyes, and I found myself pretending

That we were high above the canopy but tethered to the trunk of a tree

[Chorus]

Slow down, take time

And see the forest for the leaves

I know that I should practice what I preach

[Verse 2]

I was falling to the ground when I felt my body breaking

But I had fallen in your lap, with my head tilted back

So I could see the sun eclipsed by your hair that left a halo hanging

Waiting above so when you go you don't have to wait to get your wings

[Chorus]

Slow down, take time

And see the forest for the leaves

I know that I should practice what I preach

Slow down, take time

And see the forest for the leaves

I know that I should practice what I preach
