lyrics

Patience

Patience is a virtue that I never had time to learn
I’ve been too busy making up for lost time to wait my turn
my best foot forward means the other one drags behind
and I’d be one step ahead of the game if I could only find
the starting line, woh ho oh
the starting line.

but I’m just sitting here waiting for the lights to change
they’ve been stuck on red and I really need to know
why I’m just sitting here waiting for my life to change…to go

my best ideas come too fast to write them down
I got a novel in my head and a hundred songs kicking around
most of them will never see the light of day
but I’m much too insecure to ever throw them away
woh ho ho
to throw them away

but I’m just sitting here waiting for the lights to change
they’ve been stuck on red and I really need to know
why I’m just sitting here waiting for my life to change…to go

I never follow fashion but that’s how you get to win
jumping on a bandwagon seems be the next big thing
but I wont ride in the back of a rusty car
doesn't matter where it’s going it’s never going to be that far from anything
woh ho ho
from anything

but I’m just sitting here waiting for the lights to change
they’ve been stuck on red and I really need to know
why I’m just sitting here waiting for my life to change…to go
yes I’m just sitting here waiting for the lights to change
they’ve been stuck on red and I really need to know
why I’m just sitting here waiting for my life to change…to go
