well patiently you slipped away from me
i want that day back, i want that day back
but so patiently i went home that night
and i sat down to write
but i couldn't think of anything to write that night
i said but patiently you just went away
oh god i want you back
oh god i miss you my friend
oh so patiently
oh so patiently you slipped away that day
i never got the chance to say you're my boy
patiently i never got to say
i miss those times, oh i do
patiently you went away that night
and i just sat and sighed
oh god i miss you my friend
oh so patiently
all this silence turns to patience
and this patience has returned to silence
all this silence has turned to patience
oh so patiently
you touched us, you left us with silence
when you were here, there never was silence
you slipped away that day into silence
but i can't for the life of me figure out why
that day fell too silence
when you were with us
there wasn't a moment of silence
and this silence has turned to patience
and this patience has returned to silence
but oh so patiently you slipped away from me
oh god i want you back
oh god i miss you my friend
oh so patiently
