Patience
This Providence Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's time we get out of here
We've been dancing down a seemingly beautiful road to trouble
Well everything feels so right
Though we know it's downright wrong
Though we know it's downright wrong

Oh, you're so beautiful but I can't take what's left
And on that day we'll say,
"Hey, baby we've made it, we're on top of the world."
On that day we'll become everything we've dreamed of for so long to be
On that day, baby.

Lets shine like the stars in a dark and dirty sky
Side by side we'll watch the perfect sunrise
We've been waiting through a seemingly endless night
Well when the sun comes up I'll be all yours and you'll be all mine

And on that day we'll say,
"Hey, baby we've made it, we're on top of the world."
On that day we'll become everything we've dreamed of for so long to be
On that day, baby.

And your name sounds so good when said with mine
Maybe we can run away and leave this troubled world behind
Well, well that's a stupid, stupid, stupid thing to say
Cause we're so young but we're not foolish, honey
Surely we can wait

On that day we'll say,
"Baby, we've made it. We're on top of the world"




And on that day we'll become everything we've dreamed and longed for so long to be
On that say, baby

I once dedicated this song to someone who now I look back and think how much she didn't deserve it. I used to sing her this song to her till she fell asleep.
