PATIENT

Written in January 2011

First you touch me, even rush me, then you run, run, run away
Next time won’t you stay?
I would kiss you but I’d miss you too much if I took it too far
I need to find out where you are
So I hold my breath….
Damn it’s hard to wait and they told me to be patient and I am… not

Heartbeats find me when she tries to be closer, closer every time
Oh but still she isn’t mine
And I play the games and drop the names of people, who I’m not really into
Because really it’s just you
And I hold my breath…
Damn it’s hard to wait and they told me to be patient and I am… not

And should my heart hold out
Worth the wait?  Or let it fade… I don’t know
And let me learn to be here in time, keep you off my mind
And I’ll try not to leave you behind

Words come quickly when you’re with me and it’s late and I am not tired
And I can’t recall the time
Then it’s gone so fast, the time that passed and I don’t know, where it is you go to
When these nights are not quite through
Still I hold my breath…
Damn it’s hard to wait and they told me to be patient and I am… not

So I wonder if I’m so sure that you were swept away
Why last night you didn’t stay
And the time is mine but still I find it’s never, never quite the moment
That I don’t own it
And I hold my breath…
Damn it’s hard to say it and I thought it was just patience but I am not right
