Slow Down

In my hometown, you should be settled down

No later than twenty-three

But around here, it's your career

And runnin' after 30 Under 30

Caught in-between two speeds of what's expected of me

Too late or too early, ahead or behind

Or maybe I'm right on time

I gotta hurry up and slow down

And trust that it'll all work itself out

Tryin' to dig a little deeper, lookin' in the mirror

Like what am I missin'?

Nothin', no, I finally figured it out

I gotta hurry up and slow down

When can I stop thinkin' I'm not where I oughta be?

I bet God laughs when I act like I control things, hmm

I'm takin' my hands off every detail and lettin' it go

'Cause it's all aligned in perfect timin', be still and know

I gotta hurry up and slow down

And trust that it'll all work itself out

Tryin' to dig a little deeper, lookin' in the mirror

Like what am I missin'?

Nothin', no, I finally figured it out

I gotta hurry up and slow down

I'm caught in-between two speeds of what's expected of me

Too late or too early, ahead or behind

Or maybe I'm right on time

I gotta hurry up and slow down

And trust that it'll all work itself out

Tryin' to dig a little deeper, lookin' in the mirror

Like what am I missin'?

Nothin', no, I finally figured it out

I gotta hurry up and slow down

Ooh, I gotta slow down
