Truest - Patience Lyrics
I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know how to talkSo I sang and I banged on the mattress for the lonliness to stopLight came in, the monsters fled for the darkAnd left me sleeping to the beat of a loving heartI didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know how to walkSo I crawled on the floor in my onsie like a breathing mopDad came in, picked me up from the groundTook me in his arms, showed me all of the townI'm not scared to grow upBut i am afraid to dieI'm gonna take my timeI'm gonna take my timeI'm gonna take my timeI'm gonna take my timeI didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know how to readI liked the scenes in the pictures, the words didn't matter to meTeacher said, “Son, you've gotta know what they meanRead the writing on the wall, learn you A B C’s.”I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know how to rockSo I dropped out of school, spent my time with Yankee Hotel FoxtrotWhen the record was finished, the player kept runningMy finger tips grew tough, lips hum-hummingI'm not scared to grow upBut i am afraid to dieI'm gonna take my timeI'm gonna take my timeI'm gonna take my timeI'm gonna take my timeI didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know how to dieSo i pulled a sheet over my head, held my breath and closed my eyes
