Patience

There's that girl in the street
She's been there for twenty years
I think she's staying there
Maybe for a while

And then there's me in my bed
But I can't sleep coz I'm afraid
I might not make it through
The battles in my head

If we all just agree
What a dull world it would be

Patience could be the end of us
Before we even began
And I don't what to make of us
Am I the only one?

There's that boy, he's twenty now
He looks familiar somehow
But he's just a ghost
He never really lived at all

And then there's me on this stage
My eyes are closed coz I'm afraid
I might not help you to
The outsides of your cage

If we all just agree
What a dull world it would be
Patience could be the end of us
