Lyrics
Patience, Prudence
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Always got one foot out the door
(Where you going?)
It's making it so hard to say
(Goodbye)
It's making it so hard to say
(Goodbye)
Only kissing me when she;s gone
(And when he's not around)
You should stay, baby
One more night
Here we go, again
(I'm writing a note)
Making new plans
(I'm calling your name)
Changing seasons
(I'm wearing your clothes)
Holding new hands
(I'm wearing the pain)
Blue skies follow
(Standing alone)
Every footstep
(Step, stumble away)
I'm still waiting
(Not a word that I wrote)
Hoping I'm not wrong
(Not a thing that I said)
Second to the second
Oh, oh, oh
I'm sitting in a parking lot and where is god
I need someone to take the pain away
Always got one foot out the door
(Where you going?)
It's making it so hard to say
(Goodbye)
It's making it so hard to say
(Goodbye)
Only kissing me when she's gone
(And when he's not around)
You should stay, baby
One more night
Let your hair fall
(I'm writing a note)
Just like water
(I'm calling your name)
Come together
(I'm wearing your clothes)
Know each other
(I'm wearing your pain)
Work it all out
(Fighting the cold)
So get on it
(I'm getting caught in the rain)
Trust your instincts
(Not a word that I wrote)
Joy is waiting
(Not a note that I say)
Second to the second
Oh, oh, oh
I'm sitting in a parking lot and where is god
I need someone to take the pain away
Always got one foot out the door
(Where you going?)
It's making it so hard to say
(Goodbye)
It's making it so hard to say
(Goodbye)
Only kissing me when she's gone
(And when he's not around)
You should stay, baby
One more night
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
I swear I saw that sparkle in your eye
The last time you cried, the last time you cried
I swear I saw that sparkle in your eye
The last time you cried, the last time you cried
Always got one foot out the door
(Where you going?)
It's making it so hard to say
(Goodbye)
It's making it so hard to say
(Goodbye)
Only kissing me when she's gone
(And when he's not around)
You should stay, baby
You should stay
You should stay, baby
One more night
