You can't miss - what you've never known<br>

That I could name
I lose my senses<br>
 
I have no defences to go<br>

But if this is how I lose my heart<br>
 
Then I shall just embrace that<br>
 
My pulse is racing still<br>
You can't miss - what you've never known
I'm secretly thrilled<br>
 
By the laughter that tumbled<br>
It's quite absurd how you started disturbing me so
And the tears that I spilled<br>
 
As far as I know no one ever got killed<br>
Sometimes - when I am all alone
By impatience<br>
 
<br>
I lose my senses
Tell me - is there danger still?<br>
 
I took no heed so a word might as well be deed<br>
I have no defences to go
Although - I'd really like to see you now<br>
 
I'm almost certain it can't be accomplished with speed<br>
 
<br>
 
So, if this is how I'll bide my time<br>
But if this is how I lose my heart
Then I will set it down<br>
 
Til we lose our caution<br>
Then I shall just embrace that
I'll honour your order<br>
 
'Cos it's such sweet torture<br>
My pulse is racing still
To carry this torch<br>
 
<br>
I'm secretly thrilled
In the light of temptation<br>
 
Beyond conversation and all expectation<br>
By the laughter that tumbled
Pausing a moment or two just to mention...<br>
 
Impatience<br>
And the tears that I spilled
 
As far as I know no one ever got killed
 
By impatience
 
 
 
Tell me - is there danger still?

Although - I'd really like to see you now

lyrics for
Impatience

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
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
