Patience

[Chorus: Wesley Joseph]
Can't you be patient and stay?
It's kind of strange the way you have changed
Can't you be patient and stay?
It's kind of strange the way you have changed

[Verse 1: Wesley Joseph]
We ain't goin' nowhere, so nobody leavin'
See the brochure, lookin' like it gonna be a cold season
Even through the worst days, facin' defeat
We could find Eden
Keepin' a place for the lost souls, so I'm still rollin' with old feelings, uh
Back then in Nate's ride, sittin' passenger side
Bangin' out yesterday's tunes, feelin' bigger than life
Closed eyеs, we was feelin' a vibe
Remеmber sittin' with my thoughts in the park after dark
Still hopeless, cold in the rain
Couple young boys sat dreamin' of a home near the ocean
I'm still copin'
(Don't feel ashamed of your losses)
And my brothers still growin'
(But you never see when you blossom)
Sing through the face of the pain
Break a chain for the sake of some change
Another symphony run through my veins
Anybody comin' straight for my name
Yeah, boy, it's worth knowin'
(That we ain't cut from the same)
When you stuck on the low end
(True, say I feel no way)
Through the rain, through the pain, brighter days on the way
Likkle dance in the rave, let me sway in it
Uh, slow motion

[Chorus: Wesley Joseph, Wesley Joseph & Jorja Smith]
Can't you be patient and stay?
It's kind of strange the way you have changed

[Verse 2: Jorja Smith]
And there you are with no control
But now I've grown, but no one knows
I've lived alone with thoughts that I can't train
I'm happy growin', but I don't have to explain (Uh)
What hurts hurts, what changes changes
What I could be, it's blindin' me
I can't figure out what they know
When I get lost, I need to stay low

[Verse 3: Wesley Joseph & Jorja Smith]
See the bouquet that brighten the taste of the shade in the cascade
Want you to smell the fruit of my labour next to my grave
Nothin' in vain
And if the silence is sweeter than words in the moment, then don't say
Just stay a little longer
And leave in the breeze what you can't change, uh
When you tried to let go, but you're left with the wrong place
When you know pain after hours, I gave it a new name
But there's no shame in those hours
There's gonna be a new day
'Cause I'm changin', it's strange
But it come from a good place

[Chorus: Wesley Joseph, Jorja Smith]
Can't you be patient and stay?
It's kind of strange the way you have changed
Can't you be patient and stay? (Stay, stay)
It's kind of strange the way you have changed (No, you have changed)

[Bridge: Wesley Joseph, Jorja Smith]
Through the commotion, bottom of the ocean
So you can't see me
Brothers with me so long, it took us so long
But it never come easy
Lookin' in the mirror, shapin' figures, something bigger
Like, "Who you wan' be?"
I was in a blindfold till it unfold
Like, whatever gon' be, gon' be
Can't you be patient?
Can't you be patiently?
Can't you be patient and stay? Oh
It's kind of sad the way you have changed

[Outro: Jorja Smith, Wesley Joseph]
I just wanna go back to the old days
When I'm lookin' back, I feel okay
I ain't losin' track, don't you worry, oh
And if I don't show my face, know that ain't nothin' changed
Still you're checkin' for me (For me)
I hope you don't feel no way
And I hate to see your face when it falls down (Falls down)
But it's changin', changin', changin'
And I hate to see your face when it falls down (Falls down)
But it's changin', changin', changin'

[Spoken Outro]
Hahaha, mi just said
I going to try
And if it happen, it happen
But mi have a positive outlook
Just don't know what going to happen, so
You just carry on, carry on
Hahaha, not going to last forever (Forever)
