Patience

Patience is the companion of wisdom.

-St. Augustine

I used to write

I used to write letters
I used to sign my name
I used to sleep at night

Before the flashing lights settled deep in my brain
But by the time we met
The times had already changed
So I never wrote a letter
I never took my true heart
I never wrote it down
So when the lights cut out

I was left standing in the wilderness downtown
Now our lives are changing fast
Hope that something pure can last
It seems strange

How we used to wait for letters to arrive
But what's stranger still 
Is how something so small can keep you alive
We used to wait
We used to waste hours just walkin around
We used to wait

All those wasted lives in the wilderness downtown
Ooooo we used to wait
Sometimes it never came
Ooooo we used to wait
Sometimes it never came
Ooooo we used to wait
Still moving through the pain

I'm gonna write a letter to my true love
I'm gonna sign my name
Like a patient on a table
I Wanna walk again

Gonna move through the pain
Now our lives are changing fast
Hope that something pure can last

-Arcade Fire, "We Used to Wait."
