patiently you slipped away from me
oh god i want you back
and it's not alright
but patiently he took you away from me
oh god we want you back
oh god we miss you our friend, oh so patiently

well patiently well i went home that night
and i sat down to write, but i couldn't think of anything to write that night
but patiently you slipped away away from me
oh god we want you back
oh god we miss you our friend, oh so patiently

you fell into silence
i hate all the silence, it's left me patient
and this patience has dipped into silence
i hate all this silence
oh god i miss you my friend, oh so patiently

well i'll never forget
where did you go that day
it's been too long my friend
we went to that show and you weren't there
well i'm so used to seeing you right in that front row
and i cannot stand to miss you so
and i didn't know it til i got home
well then i picked up the phone and they told me you were gone
i could not believe i was alive
we went to her house
it's amazing how something sad can bring your friends back together again
and I know that you are smiling, looking down on us all
don't you know that they love you
you passed just like you lived
you enjoyed it all
and I know that one day you're gonna feel us all
and if you need to know one thing
oh god we miss you our friend, oh so patiently
oh so patiently
oh so patiently
i'm waiting for you
