Elvis Costello – Impatience Lyrics  Share

From Elvis Costello's album: North

How long do I have to wait?
Before I can tell you the things I^,ve been wanting to say
How long must I hesitate?

I know it makes sense but it^,s hard for me to stay away
But if this is how it has to be
Maybe it^,s just a feeling
That I could name
But I^,d probably best blame...impatience

You can^,t miss - what you^,ve never known
It^,s quite absurd how you started disturbing me so
Sometimes - when I am all alone
I lose my senses
I have no defences to go

But if this is how I lose my heart
Then I shall just embrace that
My pulse is racing still
I^,m secretly thrilled
By the laughter that tumbled
[ Impatience lyrics from

And the tears that I spilled
As far as I know no one ever got killed
By impatience

Tell me - is there danger still?
I took no heed so a word might as well be deed
Although - I^,d really like to see you now
I^,m almost certain it can^,t be accomplished with speed

So, if this is how I^,ll bide my time
Then I will set it down
Til we lose our caution
I^,ll honour your order
^,Cos it^,s such sweet torture
To carry this torch
In the light of temptation
Beyond conversation and all expectation
Pausing a moment or two just to mention...
Impatience
