Elvis Costello - Impatience
How long do I have to wait?
Before I can tell you the things I"ve been wanting to say
How long must I hesitate?
I know it makes sense but it"s hard for me to stay away
But if this is how it has to be
Maybe it"s just a feeling
That I could name
But I"d probably best blame...impatience
You can"t miss - what you"ve never known
It"s quite absurd how you started disturbing me so
Sometimes - when I am all alone
I lose my senses
I have no defences to go
But if this is how I lose my heart
Then I shall just embrace that
My pulse is racing still
I"m secretly thrilled
By the laughter that tumbled
And the tears that I spilled
As far as I know no one ever got killed
By impatience
Tell me - is there danger still?
I took no heed so a word might as well be deed
Although - I"d really like to see you
