I am a patient boy
I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait
My time, water down a drain
Everybody's moving

Everybody's moving, moving, moving, moving
Please don't leave me to remain

This made me think of the Beth Lisick interview that most influenced my life - I remember hearing you on the radio and deciding to get a lot more ambitious with writing and speaking.

Really hard to have a little “let’s see what’s going on the world while I have a snack” break right now. OMG.
