Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dear Patience
Can we share a drink and let go of the pressure?
Dear Patience
'Cause the last time that we talked seems like forever, and ever
[Verse 2]
Feels like you don't even know me
Just me and the stars can get lonely
[Verse 3]
Hey, can you show your face?
Can you see that I'm anxious?
Can you hear what I'm saying, saying?
Hey, 'cause I fall too fast
And I go down blazing
Can you hear what I'm saying?
[Verse 4]
Dear Patience
If I pour my heart out, can you keep a promise? (Mmhmm)
'Cause the situation
Is like a mountain that's been weighing on my conscious
If I'm being honest
[Verse 5]
Feels like you don't even know me
Just me and the stars can get lonely
[Verse 6]
Hey, can you show your face?
Can you see that I'm anxious?
Can you hear what I'm saying, saying?
Hey, 'cause I fall too fast
And I go down blazing
Can you hear what I'm saying?
[Verse 7]
The way you make time disappear
I hope that I find you my dear
The way you make time disappear
I hope that I find you my dear
[Verse 8]
Patience
Can we share a drink and let go of the pressure?
Oh, dear Patience
'Cause the last time that we talked seems like forever, and ever
[Verse 9]
Hey, can you show your face?
Can you see that I'm anxious?
Can you hear what I'm saying, saying?
Hey, 'cause I fall too fast
And I go down blazing
Can you hear what I'm saying?
[Verse 10]
Dear Patience
