[Intro]
Clock hands spinning
Mind still slow
Whole world sprinting
I don’t go (nah)
[Verse 1]
Fast lane, but I’m breathing deep
Everybody want it all this week
Quick hits, little bites, no feast
I’m saving my hunger for the real thing
Swipe, scroll, same old scenes
Tiny rewards in a big machine
I’m counting decades, they count screens
I’m choosing roots over quick green
[Chorus]
In a fast world, I’m waiting
Heart on hold, I’m patient (so patient)
What I want now
Ain’t always what I need
Patience keeps me from fading
From taking less than I’m made for (made for)
I’m holding out
Till the future fits my dreams
[Verse 2]
Short rush that’ll crash by noon
Or slow climb to a higher room?
Shiny now, but it rusts too soon
I’m planting a forest, they chase one bloom
Every “yes” is a thousand “no’s”
So I guard my gates, I choose my roads
If it costs my peace, that deal is closed
I’d rather walk lonely than sell my soul (yeah)
[Chorus]
In a fast world, I’m waiting
Heart on hold, I’m patient (I’m patient)
What I want now
Ain’t always what I need
Patience keeps me from fading
From taking less than I’m made for (than I’m made for)
I’m holding out
Till the future fits my dreams
[Bridge]
I won’t rush just to say I did it
Won’t love cheap just to say I’ve given
If it’s mine, time gonna circle with it
If it’s right, it survives the distance (hey)
When the noise says “hurry, hurry”
I breathe slow, let the moment blur me
If the choice won’t matter in thirty
I let it go, I’m never in a hurry
[Chorus]
In a fast world, I’m waiting
Heart on hold, I’m patient (so patient)
What I want now
Ain’t always what I need
Patience keeps me from fading
From taking less than I’m made for (made for)
I’m holding out
Till the future fits my dreams
