I spent all day yesterday watchin' the grass grow
what I learned is that grass really grows slow
now I that I know there's no reason left for me to stay
I only wish I never heard you say

Have patience
everything will be alright
have patience
give it just a little time
everything will be alright

I spent half my afternoon sittin' at a stop sign
thinkin' about how good you look even when you're lyin'
then I lost my car in a parking lot
I bought a newspaper and I decided to walk
You said

have patience
everything will be alright
have patience
give it just a little time
everything will be alright

I spent all day long just listenin' to the doorbell ring
must have been a Sunday I could hear the choirs sing
down in the graveyard they're listenin' to the underground
they're the only ones that ever learned to calm down

patience
everything will be alright
have patience
it's really such a beautiful lie
everything will be alright
everything will be alright
everything will be al-
everything will be alright
