Patience

Lyrics for Patience

Patience is a painful gift What a shame to wait Patience, you aren't leaving any time soon Sweatshirt off and bed unmade Calm and cheerful Boy, you're giving me an earful All about the rotten fits of haste So patience please, you have brought me to my knees Fortitude and weakness, both in spades My lesson's in the lines Time, we want more time Time, we want more time Patience claims, sleep it off for one more stale day In the morning, wake up feeling new But there's a mark on my neck It's the one your lips had left And it's beating softly with my pulse Congruent to the shape of your swingin' home state A token of last night care of the Midwest My lesson's in the lines Time, we want more time Time, we want more time And I'm damaged by design Time, we want more time Time, we want more time Patience mentioned that I was kind and well-intentioned Although it might not come across that way So thank your muse, share some gentle praise from me too I'll be right here when she fades
