If I'm Being Honest

Hey, I was thinking the other day

Bout how much life has changed

Went from VHS tapes

To Everything On Demand

In just a couple of decades

Ain’t it weird how our future kids

Might only know a crazy place like this

Rushing around

With their cellphones out

Living life through their fingertips

But I don’t want our babies, to grow up that way

If I’m being honest

I hope this world slows down

By the time they get here

I hope we have it all figured out

So we can sit around the table

Have time to take it in

And maybe they can grow up

In the simple way we did

If I’m being honest

Ain’t it funny how they won’t talk

To their friends on a landline call

As they twirl the cord around their fingers

Leaning against the wall

Or make their crush a burnt cd

Like the one you made for me

The soundtrack to our first kiss

As you leaned across to the shotgun seat

I don’t want our youngin’s, to miss all those things

If I’m being honest

I hope this world slows down

By the time they get here

I hope we have it all figured out

So we can sit around the table

Have time to take it in

And maybe they can grow up

In the simple way we did

If I’m being honest

I can’t lie, I look around, and think to myself sometimes

Some change is good, but there are parts, I wish we could rewind

If I’m being honest

I hope this world slows down

By the time that our kids get here

I hope we have it all figured out

So we can sit around the table

Have time to take it in

And maybe they can grow up

In the simple way we did

If I’m being honest
