Demoting the Meaning, Promoting the Subtext
Today slipped away from me
Who knows if I’ll ever get that back
Not like I needed the hours anyways
for my mental capabilities
Show me what I’m looking for
Show me what I’m looking for
The day I understand what’s in my head
is what I’m living for
Patience never hurt anyone
Patience never hurt anyone
until I realized that the call would never come
But patience never hurt anyone
When’s the part where I get to storm out and say
“look who’s still breathing
and giving God a reason to live another day!”
But then I think
some things are better left unsaid
Patience never hurt anyone
Patience never hurt anyone
until I realized that the call would never come
Today slipped away from me
and who knows if I’ll ever get that back
Show me what I’m looking for
Show me what I’m looking for
The day I understand what’s in my head
is the day I’m living for
