Patience Lyrics

Has it really been that long?
Did I count the days wrong?
Did we just go 'round and 'round
All the way to step one?

They would ask me all the time
Every time the show's up
"So what you doin' with your life"
It ain't givin' up

Just growin' up in stages
(Lay down, low down)
Livin' life in phases
Another season changes
And still my days are shapeless

It's always, "Drive straight, don't be late"
'Cause time waits for no one
I should be flying straight with no delay
'Cause time takes from everyone

I'm just laying here
Waiting for our day to come
Take us to the place
Takin' us where we have gone

They would ask me all the time
Showin' up in ages
"So what you doin' with your life?"
Call it givin' up

I'm just growin' up in stages
(Lay down, low down)
Livin' life in phases
Another season changes
And still my ways are aimless, I know
We're growin' up in stages
And I'm runnin' out of pages
Growin' up

It's always, "Drive straight, don't be late"
'Cause time waits for no one
I should be flying straight with no delay
'Cause time takes from everyone

Exploring the relentless passage of time and the pressures of societal expectations, this song delves into the artist's personal journey. The lyrics reflect a struggle with growing up and the constant questioning about life choices. The recurring theme of 'stages' and 'phases' signifies that life is not a linear progression but a series of ups and downs, changes, and growth. The song encourages patience in dealing with these transitions and reassures listeners that it's okay to not have it all figured out. It also emphasizes how time is ruthless; it waits for no one, hence the urgency to live fully and authentically. #LifeInPhases #TimeAndGrowth
