The Shoe - Patience (Demo) Lyrics

Goddamnit I watched you leave
Fallin' away like a leaf from a tree
Didn't catch the summer before it turned into fall
Don't know if I woulda liked it at all
Goddamnit how'd I get so old
Mark these words I will not be told
Another winter fell into spring
But I'll never let it tell me a thing

And you tried to drill into my head to be patient
I'll try I'll try I'll try but not for you
I been doing my best just to keep my head above the water
God knows there's no telling what the hell I'd do
To turn the clock back a few

God make me a better man
God damn all my stupid plans
Do what you said you said you would do
I been askin' not receiving from you
If I tried to believe again
All the lies you been tellin' man
Would you give me a few years back
Goddamn, we wanna be younger again

And you tried to drill into my head to be patient
I'll try I'll try I'll try but not for you
I been doing my best just to keep my head above the water
God knows there's no telling what the hell I'd do
To turn the clock back a few

No god, no man, no spell or plan
Can keep the arms of the clock from turning
All we can do is grab onto a hand
And on it's finger, on it's finger place a wedding band

And you tried to drill into my head to be patient
I'll try I'll try I'll try but not for you
I been doing my best just to keep my head above the water
God knows there's no telling what the hell I'd do
To turn the clock back a few
