Patience
Tom Grennan Lyrics

Guess I was born in a hurry, so it says in the stars
The singer feels like they were always rushing and impatient from the moment they were born, as if it was predetermined for them.

Sometimes we move like lighting, still get stuck where we are
Even though we may act quickly and impulsively, we can still find ourselves unable to escape our current situation or emotions.

Playing the long game means waiting
Being patient and waiting is essential when trying to achieve long term goals or success.

Don't have to wait on tomorrow
There's no need to put off taking action or working towards your goals until tomorrow, start making progress today.

So Imma pick my head up and go on with my days
The artist will keep their head up and continue with their daily life despite any setbacks or frustrations they may encounter.

I see all the hustle-bustle by casting a witch
The singer observes the busy and chaotic world around them as if viewing it from a distance or through a different lens.

Spring is as long as the winter
It's often hard to see progress or change happening in the moment, but it will come as naturally and surely as the changing of seasons.

When I'm holding out for the summer
The artist is looking forward to a time of better and brighter things, when all their hard work and patience will be rewarded.

So I'm singing, Lord
The artist is turning to a higher power for guidance, strength, and patience to get them through tough times.

Give me patience, give me patience
The artist is pleading with the divine to grant them the ability to remain calm and patient in difficult situations.

Seems like I get home late, and the stars come out
The singer often feels like they're getting a late start or running out of time, but there's still beauty and wonder to be found in the world around them.

Trying to keep my composure, but I have no doubt
The artist is doing their best to stay calm and collected, but they're still certain of their desire to move forward and make progress.

Waiting for you it's like a dream
The singer is longing for someone or something they can't have, and it feels like a distant or impossible dream.

Well I can't piece it together
The singer is struggling to make sense of their feelings or situation, and it's causing them frustration or confusion.

All of our lives, we're striving for something
The pursuit of happiness, satisfaction, and fulfillment is a universal human experience that drives us all.

And it takes up all our energy
Trying to achieve our goals and find meaning in life can be incredibly taxing and exhausting.

Although sometimes, we're bored in the sun
Even when things are going well or we're making progress, it's easy to feel restless or unfulfilled, like there's something missing.

But a big dull moment
Feeling stuck or unmotivated for a prolonged period of time can be discouraging and frustrating.

Let's learn to walk before we can run
It's important to start with small steps and gradually build up to bigger ones, rather than trying to take on too much at once and setting yourself up for failure.

'Cos we're singing, Lord
The artist is not alone in their struggles and hopes, as they're joined by others in pleading for divine help and guidance.

Singing Lord singing Lord singing Lord
The repetition of this phrase emphasizes the artist's desperation for divine intervention and their desire to keep singing until their prayers are answered.

Give me patience
The artist is again requesting from the divine a sense of calm and the ability to wait and endure during difficult times.

'Cos I don't wanna wait any longer
The singer has reached a breaking point and no longer wants to continue waiting and enduring their current struggles.
