Love, Patiently - Shakey Graves

Dear friend of the girl I once dated

I’d hated the sound of her voice

And she left me no choice

I would rampantly tear all the frames from the wall

Just to make her remember our life in the fall

So miss me once in a blue moon

If I don’t return soon

I think there’s something worth loving in me

But I run from the touch of a loved one

I could never live patiently

Dear friend of the female persuasion

On lonely rotation through all of the boys in the town

I would instantly answer the phone if you called

Just to make me remember the point of it all

You miss me once in a blue moon

If I don’t return soon

I think there’s something worth leaving in me

But I run from the touch of a loved one

You could never love patiently

You could never love patiently

You could never love patiently

Love patiently

Yeah miss me once in a blue moon

If I don’t return soon

I think there’s something worth loving in me

So I’ll run from the touch of a loved one

I could never live patiently
