Patience

Lyricist: Kevin Parker     Composer: Kevin Parker

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

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

Just growing up in stages
(Lay down no more)
Living life in phases
Another season changes
And still my days are shapeless

I should be flying straight, don't be late
'Cause time waits for no one
I should be flying straight, don't be late
'Cause time takes from everyone

I've been waiting here
Waiting for the day to come
Take us to the place
Taking us where we have gone

People ask me all the time
Showing up in ages
"So what you doin' with your life?"
Call it giving up

I'm just growing up in stages
(Lay down no more)
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 pages
Growing up

I should be flying straight, don't be late
'Cause time waits for no one
I should be flying straight, don't be late
'Cause time takes from everyone
