Patience
Dave Moisan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ever crossed without us knowing?
Could it be that all along,
You're just a couple feet away, and we pass every day?
Have we shared these city streets?
Waited shoulder to shoulder?
I may not have the guts to speak,
So have a little patience with me,
Soon enough our shadows will meet.
And if my heart gets there first, know the rest of me is coming
And I can't wait to catch you cause I'm so tired of running.
So have a little patience with me.
Even though I know it's time to take the stage,
I'm afraid my lines aren't ready.
And it makes it hard to read the page
When these hands are so unsteady.
So have a little patience with me,
Soon enough our shadows will meet.
And if my heart gets there first, know the rest of me is coming
And I can't wait to catch you cause I'm so tired of running.
So have a little patience with me.
And sorry I've been making you wait,
But know that I'm trying to find you.
I'll search for as long as it takes,
So may I remind you to be patient too.
So have a little patience with me,
Soon enough our shadows will meet.
And if my heart gets there first, know the rest of me is coming
And I can't wait to catch you cause I'm so tired of running.
So have a little patience.
Have a little patience.
Have a little patience with me.
In Dave Moisan's song "Patience," there is a sense of longing and desire for connection that runs through the lyrics. The first stanza explores the idea that two people could unknowingly cross paths without realizing their connection. The idea that the person you've been searching for could be so near, yet so far, is a universal and relatable sentiment. The second stanza shifts focus to the singer's own personal struggles with finding the courage to speak up and pursue what he wants. There is a vulnerability that shines through as he talks about his fears and insecurities. Despite these insecurities, however, the chorus maintains a sense of hope, promising that even if it takes time, the two people will eventually collide.
The bridge implies an apology for the wait and an acknowledgement that both parties may have to practice patience. It feels like a humble request for understanding, a plea for the other person to have faith that the singer is actively seeking out their connection, even if it takes a bit of time.
Overall, "Patience" is a song about the slow and often frustrating process of seeking out human connection. Whether it's a missed connection or personal insecurities, it reminds listeners that sometimes you just have to be patient in order to find what you're looking for.

Hey Dave! It's been 3 years since I left the comment and I still thoroughly enjoy your music but when I saw your name on The Voice it took me a minute to remember where I knew you from.
Congratulations on being on Team Alicia and best of luck on this season!
