Impatient
Impatient Love: Struggles and Vulnerabilities in Relationships
Lyrics
You wanna know where I'm at
You're curious about my whereabouts.
But I don't even call you back cause
I avoid returning your calls because of time constraints.
I don't have time for that but
My schedule is too busy for certain things.
I know I know I know I know
A repetition emphasizing awareness or understanding.
I know I can be cold sometimes
I acknowledge that I can be emotionally distant at times.
Distracting all my feelings out
I divert my attention from my emotions.
I don't wanna tell you why so
I choose not to explain the reasons for my actions.
I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't
A repetitive expression of uncertainty or lack of knowledge.
I don't know where I should go if you were gone
Uncertain about where to go if you were absent.
I don't know where I should go
Continued uncertainty about direction in the absence of someone.
Please don't get me wrong
Please understand my intentions correctly.
I don't want you to go home
I don't want you to leave.
I am impatient but you're patient with me
Expressing impatience, contrasted with the partner's patience.
You stay awake when I can not sleep
You stay awake for me when I struggle to sleep.
All my mistakes and all my worries
Acknowledging errors and concerns.
I know that I couldn't keep up if you were like me
I realize I couldn't cope if you were like me.
All I do is blaming you
Assigning blame to the partner.
For all the things you don't do
Focusing on what the partner doesn't do.
You never know what to choose but
Partner struggles with decision-making.
I know, I know, I know, I know
Repetition emphasizing self-awareness.
I'm doing this my own way
I choose to do things in my own way.
We always do what I say
Insistence on following my instructions.
Do you think that's okay cause
Questioning if this behavior is acceptable.
I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't
Repetitive expression of uncertainty or lack of knowledge.
I don't know where I should go, if you were gone
Uncertain about where to go if the partner were absent.
I don't know where I should go
Continued uncertainty about direction without the partner.
Please don't get me wrong
Please understand my intentions correctly.
I don't want you to go home
I don't want you to leave.
I am impatient but you're patient with me
Expressing impatience, contrasted with the partner's patience.
You stay awake when I can not sleep
You stay awake for me when I struggle to sleep.
All my mistakes and all my worries
Acknowledging errors and concerns.
I know that I couldn't keep up if you were like me
I realize I couldn't cope if you were like me.
Impatient but you're patient with me
Repetition of impatience and acknowledgment of partner's patience.
You stay awake when I can not sleep
You stay awake for me when I struggle to sleep.
All my mistakes and all my worries
Acknowledging errors and concerns.
I know that I couldn't keep up if you were like me
I realize I couldn't cope if you were like me.
