O.A.R. - Patiently Lyrics

Patiently, you slipped away from me
It's not all right, you couldn't put up no fight
But patiently, the well ran dry
You needed more water, you needed more

But patiently, you slipped away from me
Oh God, I want you back
Oh God, I miss you my friend
Oh so patiently

Patiently, I went home that night
And I sat down to write, but I couldn't think of anything to write that night
Patiently, you took it all with you
The sun, the moon, the stars are nothing without you

But patiently, you slipped away from me
Oh God, we want you back
Oh God, we miss you our friend
Oh so patiently

You fell into silence
I hate all this silence
It's leaving me patient

And this patience, has bred such violence
Oh I hate all this violence
Oh God, we miss you our friend
But so patiently

I will never forget it, as long as I live
The feel that went through the bar, you're not there
Pick up the phone, it told me you were gone
I wish I was dreaming, but I'm wide-awake
And we got to her house, everybody was there
Amazes me how you can bring us all together

Patience, you leave me here
How can you expect me to thrive?
Patiently, I wait for you
There's not life unless you're alive

This patience
This patience
This patience
This silence

This patience
This silence
Oh this silence
We love you our friend, wait so patiently

Oh so patiently
Oh so patiently
Oh so patiently
I'll give you back
Take me back, patiently
Patiently

Give me back
Come on back
We know your back
Wait for you, wait for you

Patiently
We wait for you
We miss you our friend
