Mostly Patient

What's inside that cloudy little head
C'mon won't you stretch it out
Afraid they'll really see ya
And figure what you're all about
Everybody knows you're as perfect
As the roses in the ground
You don't see that though
You're so busy on your own little cloud

Sometimes impatient, but mostly patient
I see you waiting for things to change
Outside it's raining, precipitating
I know you're aching, for better days

Tried all your tricks
It won't fix anything this time
Got your eyes on the prize
Like a bird looking for sunshine

What's behind that frowning little face
Sometimes you wanna throw it all away
Hope that you don't mind me saying
I think that would be a waste
When you're feeling like a stone
Skipping on your own across the waves
So lonely in the zone
I think you oughta give yourself a break

Sometimes impatient, but mostly patient
I see you waiting for things to change
Outside it's raining, precipitating
I know you're aching, for brighter days
