Mostly Patient Lyrics by Courtney Barnett
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
