patience only comes when you spend your time just waiting
you're the only one that's worth the wait i think your great
and writing melodies
sometimes seems to ease
all the stuff that's built up inside

patience is what comes when you spend your time just waiting
listening for the phone, hoping that i'll get a call
maybe from some friends
wondering how i've been
wondering if we all could hang out

bring back the good times
i think that that would be just fine
bring back the good times

patience won't you come, oh i feel like life's suspended
i have not become the thing that i have so intended
put my mind at ease
and i'll write melodies
and i'll sing songs of hope that's to come

so bring back the good times
i think that that would be just fine
bring back the good times

i won't embrace the things that i have done
patience waits for what we will become
oh it's so much more i know
that it's so worth waiting for.
