Patience
Sixth Finger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt
You're in my heart now
Said, woman, take it slow
It'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said, sugar, make it slow
And we come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
(Patience)
Mm, yeah

I sit here on the stairs
'Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now
I'll wait, dear
Sometimes I get so tense
But I can't speed up the time
But you know, love
There's one more thing to consider

Said, woman, take it slow
And things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said, sugar, take the time
'Cause the lights are shining bright
You and I've got what it takes
To make it, We won't fake it,
I'll never break it
'Cause I can't take it

Little patience, mm yeah, mm yeah
Need a little patience, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah
Some more patience, yeah
Need some patience, yeah
Could use some patience, yeah
Gotta have some patience, yeah
All it takes is patience,




Just a little patience
Is all you need

Overall Meaning

The song "Patience" by the Sixth Finger is a classic rock ballad that tells a story of a man who is missing his loved one. He sheds a tear thinking about her, but still manages to keep a smile on his face. He thinks about her every day, and he remembers a time when he wasn't sure about their relationship, but she has helped him to overcome his doubts. He asks his woman to take the time to work things out, and he wants them to use a little patience to come together.


The chorus repeatedly mentions the importance of patience in their relationship. He sits alone on the stairs, waiting for her to come to him. Although he gets tense sometimes, he knows he cannot speed up the time, and he believes they have what it takes to make it through their struggles. The song ends with the plea for patience, as he believes that patience is all he needs to make their relationship work.
