"Love, Patiently" lyrics - SHAKEY GRAVES

Dear friend of the girl I once dated
I'd hated the sound of her voice
And she left me no choice
I would rampantly tear all the frames from the wall
Just to make her remember our life in the fall

[Chorus:]
So miss me once in a blue moon
If I don't return soon
I think there's something worth loving in me
But I run from the touch of a loved one
I could never live patiently

Dear friend of the female persuasion
On lonely rotation through all of the boys in the town
I would instantly answer the phone if you called
Just to make me remember the point of it all

[Chorus (variation):]
You miss me once in a blue moon
If I don't return soon
I think there's something worth leaving in me
But I run from the touch of a loved one
You could never love patiently
You could never love patiently
You could never love patiently
Love patiently

[Break/Fill]

[Chorus:]
Yeah miss me once in a blue moon
If I don't return soon
I think there's something worth loving in me
So I'll run from the touch of a loved one
I could never live patiently
