Playing Patient

from Suddenly by Math Club

lyrics

Could we just sit, talk shit, get over it?
Once in a while it'd be nice to see you in a smile.

Could we stay in for one night? Have it out, fuck and fight, whatever helps.
Whatever cuts this tension like a knife.
Could we just chill, be still, break the pattern we've been living inside?
Is that alright?
'Cause I've been making plans to just be honest with myself.
Buckled knees and shaking hands aren't doing anything to help.

I'm afraid this might all come back someday.

Oh, I feel it now. Driving with the windows down, taking back-roads to your house, when it all comes pouring out.
Oh, I feel it now. Everything I never felt playing patient on the couch.
Oh I feel it -- everything, all at once, suddenly.

Come a little bit closer, see how I messed up the place.
I still pick at my face, see the scars on my cheeks?
Put your hands on my waist. Spin in circles with me,
and we'll move at a pace that seems right, and stop fighting for once.
It'd be easier for both of us to breathe.
(Happy anniversary.)

I'm afraid this could all turn black someday.

Oh, I feel it now. Driving with the windows down, taking back-roads to your house, when it all comes pouring out.
Oh, I feel it now. Everything I never felt playing patient on the couch.
Oh I feel it -- everything, all at once, suddenly.
