Patiently
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.
A thousand miles from Indiana
But I'm not moving; I'm not leaving
A thousand miles from who I want to be
But I'm not dead yet. I'm still breathing
And patiently, I exist
You stand out, in a crowd
But I want you dead, I'm not you yet
You got friends, you're great with them
But I'm not dead yet, I'm still breathing
Patiently, and with certainty, I wait
It just isn't right
The time of your life spent
Right where you wanna be
Impatiently
And you just talk
But you don't stop
But I'm not dead yet, I'm still breathing
Patiently, and with certainty
It just isn't right
The time of your life spent
Right where you wanna be
Providing for mouths, pursuing a family
Right where she wants you to be
Resigned to these histories, we exist
