Verse              Patiently, patiently, patiently

                        I give you space to be

                        Patiently, patiently, patiently

                        I look for room to breathe

Chorus           And the words you spoke ring through my head

                        What I should have answered stays unsaid

                        It follows me into my bed instead

Verse              Patiently, patiently, patiently

                        I always turn a cheek

                        Patiently, patiently, patiently

                        I look for room to speak

Chorus           And the words you spoke ring through my head

                        What I should have answered stays unsaid

                        It follows me into my bed instead

Bridge            Slowly I get my feet under me

                        Slowly my eyes rise up from my feet

                        Slowly my words form between my teeth

                        And I speak

                        And I speak

Verse              Patiently, patiently, patiently

                        I bring out more of me

                        Patiently, patiently, patiently

                        I speak authentically

Chorus           And the words I spoke ring through my head

                        What I said instead was spirited

                        It leaves me in my bed so comforted

                        And the words I spoke ring through my head

                        What I said instead was spirited

                        It even leaves me in my bed so comforted

Verse              Patiently, patiently, patiently

                        I dream of what will be
