Patience Lyrics – Tame Impala

[Verse]
Has it really been that long?
Did I count the days wrong?
Did we just go 'round and 'round
All the way to step one?

[Pre-Chorus]
They would ask me all the time
Every time the show's up
"So what you doing with your life?"
It ain't giving up

[Chorus]
Just growing up in stages
(Lay down, low down)
Living life in phases
Another season changes
And still, my days are shapeless

[Post-Chorus]
It's always drive straight, don't be late
'Cause time waits for no one
I should be flying straight, with no delay
'Cause time takes from everyone

[Bridge]
I'm just laying here
Waiting for a change to come
Take us to the place
Taking us where we would have gone

[Pre-Chorus]
They would ask me all the time
Showing up in ages
"So what you doing with your life?"
Call it giving up

[Chorus]
I'm just growing up in stages
(Lay down, low down)
Living life in phases
Another season changes
And still, my ways are aimless, I know
We're growing up in stages
And I'm running out of patience
Growing up

[Outro]
It's always drive straight, don't be late
'Cause time waits for no one
I should be flying straight, with no delay
'Cause time takes from everyone
