Patient

(album: Love And Fear - 2012)

Well I don't know, but I've been told
That you can never get too old
To let new hands feel your heart
And see where it has grown too hard

We can be patient
This situation
Will not destroy us
Will not control us
We can be patient
In this situation,
and you may hate us
But you can't change us

You fell from the apple tree
The one you planted by the stream
The reset button's very close
You're two feet from the telephone
But I see you stare me down
The quiet won't erase this sound

We can be patient
This situation
Will not destroy us
Will not control us
We can be patient
In this situation,
and you may hate us
But you can't change us

We're saying no oh oh
no oh oh
We're saying no oh oh
no oh oh
We're saying no oh oh
no oh oh
We're saying no oh oh
no oh oh

Slowly breaking,
years of waiting
Slowly breaking
years of waiting
Slowly breaking
your voice above the crowd

We can be patient
This situation
Will not destroy us
Will not control us
We can be patient
In this situation,
and you may hate us
But you can't change us

We're saying no oh oh
no oh oh
We're saying no oh oh
no oh oh
We're saying no oh oh
no oh oh
We're saying no oh oh
no oh oh
