My impatient heart being ever so smart My impatient heart tries to make it stop Idle flies flap their wings alright Idle flies like my bitter lies You stole a part of my impatient heart Your life at the heart of my impatient heart Idle flies turn to butterflies Butterflies turn to bitter minds I need it I need it more than you I mean it I mean it more than you My impatient heart tries to make it stop My impatient heart tries to make it stop Butterflies turn to bitter minds I try to keep them dead And it's the beauty of dreaming That keeps me sane I mean it more than you You are my reason for being In every sense I mean it more than you By and by, in my own time I plant the seed for my everlasting peace And it's the beauty of dreaming That keeps me sane I need it more than you You are my reason for being In present tense I need it more than you It is the beauty of dreaming I need it more than you You are my reason for being I mean it more than you I need it I need it more than you
