Lyrics

Patience Gets Us Nowhere Fast

[Verse 1]

I want it all and nothin' less

I want it all, I want the best for you

I'm tellin' you the truth

You are the one that makes it real

Even the sunlight doesn't feel this good

Whoever said it could?

[Chorus]

Patience

Patience gets us nowhere fast

Patience

Patience gets us nowhere

[Verse 2]

I want it all and nothin' less

I want it all, I want the best for us

I'm tellin' you to trust

The world you see is on our side

Take a chance and take a ride with me

From sea to shinin' sea

[Chorus]

Patience

Patience gets us nowhere fast

Patience

Patience gets us nowhere fast

[Bridge]

I don't want my patience to last

Follow me, follow me somewhere

Follow me, follow me somewhere

Follow me, follow me somewhere out there

Follow me, follow me somewhere

Follow me, follow me somewhere

Follow me, follow me somewhere out there

(Out there, there)

[Verse 3]

I want it all and nothin' less

I want it all, I want the best for you

I'm tellin' you the truth

You are the kiss I don't expect

Remind me never to forget my youth

I'll leave it up to you

[Chorus]

Patience

Patience gets us nowhere fast

Patience

Patience gets us nowhere fast

Patience

Patience gets us nowhere fast

Patience

Patience gets us nowhere fast
