I spent all day yesterday watchin the grass grow
What I learned is:  the grass really grows slow
Now that I know, there's a reason for me to stay
I wanna wish I never heard you say,

"Have patience, everything will be alright
Have patience, give it just a little time
Everything will be alright."

I've spent half my afternoon sittin at a stop sign
Thinkin about how good you look, even when you're lyin
Then I lost my car in a parking lot
I bought a newspaper and I decided to walk

You said, "Have patience, everything will be alright,
Have patience, give it just a little time
Everything will be alright."

I've spent all day long just listenin to the doorbell ring
Must've been a Sunday, I could hear the choir sing
Down in the graveyard they're listenin to the underground
They're the only ones that ever learned to calm down

Patience, everything will be alright
Have patience, it's really such a beautiful life
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be a--
Everything will be alright
