Patiently > 10.17.2002

Well patiently
You slipped away from me
I want you back
And it's not all right
Well 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 fell away from me
Oh God I want you back
Oh God I miss you my friend
Oh so patiently

Patiently
You went away that day
I didn't know that's the last time
I'd ever see you
Patiently
We waited wide awake
Death has a funny way of laughing at you
But so patiently
You fell 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
Is feeding me silence
Oh I hate all this silence
Oh God we miss you our friend
Oh so patiently

I'll never forget that day
As long as I live on this earth
I'll never forget the way
You took me in
You didn't have to be my friend
But I feel that you wanted to
You didn't have to talk to me
But I feel that you wanted to
That day
I know that you were there
But I noticed you're not in the front row
You always were
I knew that you're gone
I didn't even want to understand
Death has a funny way of laughing at me
Got to the show
And everyone is there
But something is missing
I can't breathe the air
'Cause it's thick, it's so thick
Oh I know you're looking down
When I got home late
Heard the telephone ring
They told me what was going down
We got to her house
All your friends were sitting there
I don't think I've ever cried before that way, way
I know that you're listening to me
It's been four years now
But we still want to see you
Oh God we miss you our friend
Oh so patiently
Oh so patiently
I waited here for you
Heaven is not too far away from me
Oh I lay awake, sometimes dreams
They hassle me
Oh so patiently
