lyrics

THE PATIENT KIND
Written and performed Amelie Patterson, May 31 st 2019 release

You showed up late to the party
Your tie on straight and a bottle of wine
I knew it wouldn’t take all that much from me
To ask you for your number or if you wanted mine
I guess that you could say that it was fate…

You moved so smoothed I was mystified
You charmed your way through all of my friends
You knew it too, you weren’t satisfied
Head and heart will battle to the bitter end

I guess that you could say that it was fate
Pulling on the strings of love and hate
I guess that you could say it was the wine
Mixing in my mind

If you need more time, I don’t mind
I’ll be here when your heart is light and free
And if you see more time, oh I’m the patient kind
Baby it’s the same to me, baby it’s the same to me

I’m only late at the best of times
Gotta a mind that finds its own gravity
I live and breathe in space between the lines
Are you friend foe or lover, are you enemy?
And if that is the case, if you’re heart has been replaced
By someone elses taste well that’s just bittersweet

I guess that you could say that it was fate
Pulling on the strings of love and hate
I guess that you could say it was the wine mixing in my mind

If you need more time, I don’t mind
I’ll be here when your heart is light and free
If you need more time, I don’t mind
I’ll be here when your heart is light and free!
And if you see more time, oh I’m the patient kind
Baby it’s the same to me, baby it’s the same to me

I guess that you could say that it was fate…
I guess that you could say that it was fate…
I guess that you could say that it was fate…
And I guess that you could say that it was fate!

If you need more time, I don’t mind
I’ll be here when your heart is light and free
And if you see more time, oh I’m the patient kind
Baby it’s the same to me, baby it’s the same to me
