[Verse 1]
Ashtray cold
Coffee gone
Same old song
In my chest, it drums along
I been chasing
Every shadow in my head
Scrolling through my memories
Till my eyes turn red
I say “love” so much
It lost shape on my tongue
Every “forever”
Seemed to end too young
[Chorus]
Love, pain, patience
All sitting at the same table
I’m trying to hold my heart steady
Keep my hands from being unstable
I want to love
Like I ain’t scared of the ending
Turn this hurt into healing
Turn this waiting into blessing
Love, pain, patience
All tangled in my soul
I’m learning how to sit with it
Before I lose control (yeah)
[Verse 2]
I was raised on
Tie-dye hearts and patched-up jeans
Old records spinning
’Bout broken kings and queens
Every lesson
Came wrapped in a little regret
Every “sorry”
Was a promise I ain’t kept yet
But I’m slowing down
Counting ten before I speak
Letting anger pass by
Like a train down the street
[Chorus]
Love, pain, patience
All sitting at the same table
I’m trying to hold my heart steady
Keep my hands from being unstable
I want to love
Like I ain’t scared of the ending
Turn this hurt into healing
Turn this waiting into blessing
Love, pain, patience
All tangled in my soul
I’m learning how to sit with it
Before I lose control (oh yeah)
[Bridge]
One breath in
One breath out
I don’t have to win
Every single doubt
If it takes all night
I’ll still stay
’Cause every scar I’ve carried
Keeps pointing me this way
[Chorus]
Love, pain, patience
All sitting at the same table
I’m trying to hold my heart steady
Keep my hands from being unstable
I want to love
Like I ain’t scared of the ending
Turn this hurt into healing
Turn this waiting into blessing
Love, pain, patience
Yeah, that’s my rock and roll
Let the quiet keep on growing
In the corners of my soul
