Patience

(Album: The Slow Rush B-Sides & Remixes - 2022)

Has it really been that long?
Did I count the days wrong?
Did we just go 'round and 'round
All the way to step one?

They would ask me all the time
Every time the show's up
"So what you doing with your life?"
It ain't giving up

Just growing up in stages
(Lay down, low down)
Living life in phases
Another season changes
And still, my days are shapeless

It's always drive straight, don't be late
'Cause time waits for no one
I should be flying straight, with no delay
'Cause time takes from everyone

I'm just laying here
Waiting for a change to come
Take us to the place
Taking us where we would have gone

They would ask me all the time
Showing up in ages
"So what you doing with your life?"
Call it giving up

I'm just growing up in stages
(Lay down, low down)
Living life in phases
Another season changes
And still, my ways are aimless, I know
We're growing up in stages
And I'm running out of patience
Growing up

It's always drive straight, don't be late
'Cause time waits for no one
I should be flying straight, with no delay
'Cause time takes from everyone
