Patiently
I've waited patiently
Hoping that you'd believe
That the lights in our eyes
Are not fading out
They're not yet fading out
Somehow we're safe and sound
Like the glow off the shore
We will hurry

What could I ever do?
What could I say?
To cover up my concerns?
To keep them at bay?
Oh, then she said, "You spend too much time in your head."
What could I ever do?
What could I say so carefully?

Carefully
I followed carefully
Too scared of a scraped knee
So I wait on the sand with her Coppertone
Yeah, she put on Coppertone
And went out there all alone
Never one to be scared or to worry

What could I ever do?
What could I say?
To cover up my concerns?
To keep them at bay?
Oh, then she said, "You spend too much time in your head."
What could I ever do?
What could I say so carefully?
