Patient

She was a one way heart break, bleeding out through her emerald eyes On the Garden State Parkway, 4am under canvas skies I was young and hungry and needed to prove I could feel alive It starts with something, something you can't articulate Your head says move but you only move in a figure eight I was young and dumb and needed to prove in some kind of fate Wake me up, I want to feel it 'til my heart shuts down Smell her perfume on the last train out when I'm leaving the station Take me back, I want to tell her that I'll lose track of all the memories that we'll never have If I don't learn to be patient If I don't learn to be patient In a last ditch effort I tried to feign that I had control Then I saw my breath in the parking lot of the grocery store And her ghost said, "You don't need to live like that anymore" Take me back, I want to tell her that I'll lose track of all the memories that we'll never have If I don't learn to be patient If I don't learn to be patient Wake me up, I want to feel it 'til my heart shuts down Smell her perfume on the last train out when I'm leaving the station Take me back, I want to tell her that I'll lose track of all the memories that we'll never have If I don't learn to be patient If I don't learn to be patient
