LYRICS:
tell me when
i made the wrong turn
from innocent
i would bet
you and i would break a little bit
how can we breath
temperate feelings
staring at cracks
up in the ceiling
another step back
won’t make a sound
if i keep running
will you turn around
it’s an easy reaction
to throw it away
but evidently
it all comes back
to you and to me
it’s an easy distraction
stay composed
try to say it with
your mouth closed
what could be
working up to
catastrophe

LYRICS:
it’s been a long while since the words came quick
my heart was narrow and my skin was thick
blessed and i’m cursed by the feeling
i can’t forget all the sparks i’ve seen
questioning what i thought i knew
if i’d seen it coming i’d have thought it through
built up to ruin by this simple fear
losing everything that i hold dear
maybe i was young or just naive
now i’m not sure what to believe
nothing comes as easy as i thought this was
nothing turns out like the dream of it does
i thought i had it all figured out
but i can’t distinguish truth from the doubt
doesn’t come as easy as i thought this was
nothing turns out like the dream of it does")

Lyrics:
I don’t, I don’t want to run
I don’t want to fall apart
And act like it never happened
I don’t, want to lose my mind
I want to make it up to you
Like everything is fine
If I’m being honest
I’m not really sure
I broke my heart
So I wouldn’t break yours
you are my favorite part
If I’m being honest
I don’t know why
I quit expecting
so i wouldn’t have to cry
but you are my favorite part
I never had the conversation
I always had the alibi
I never tried like I try now
I am not myself
maybe you could help
If I’m being honest
Whenever I’m unsure
I break my heart
So I don’t have to break yours
You are my favorite part
If I’m being honest
I don’t know why
I quit expecting
So I wouldn’t have to cry
You are my favorite part
If I’m being honest
I’m not really sure
I broke my heart
So I wouldn’t break yours
You are my favorite part")

LYRICS:
how far do i fall
from the expectation?
measure it all
the correlation
between the signs
coincidence or plot line
am i in love
with my imagination
of you, of you
am i enough
in your imagination
of us, of us
feel my head spin
when i see your projection
painted on my skin
i suppose i did the same thing
am i in love
with my imagination
of you, of you
am i enough
in your imagination
of us, of us
am i in love
with your imagination
of us, of us
am i enough
in your imagination
of us, of us

lyrics
Go on and try to say
You’re all about it, do without it
When you try to walk away
And all you do is doubt it
I made enough mistakes
I left them on the kitchen counter
I gave it everything
but maybe I should speak up louder
You don’t have anything to prove
Whenever you were here
And I was only in my head
I haven’t told you but
You know you haven’t lost me yet
Take a breath, be more direct and move a little closer
I worried all about it the entire time and now it’s over
You don’t have anything to prove
Go on and try to say
You’re all about it, do without it
When you try to walk away
And all you do is doubt it
Take a breath, be more direct
And move a little closer
I worried all about it the entire time
And now it’s over
Worried all about it the entire time
And now it’s over
Now it’s over")

lyrics:
this place doesn’t feel the same anymore
i can’t trace how or why it seems to change
but it seems it’s changed
like an old friend, that i used to know so well
but i’ve been gone so long
that there’s so much we can’t tell
you, the skyline and the street signs
oh, fading away the further i drive
oh, i can’t help but realize
i can never go back to the way it was
i walk the streets that used to hold my life
and everything i see is just a picture in my mind
of all that’s behind me, that haunts, that reminds me
of the beauty and the pain of what’s gone
it’s a long road now and there’s no turning back
you ought to know that, know that")

lyrics:
i can’t help but wonder why
you can’t help but cross my mind
and i’m thinking of you (thinking of you)
hope one day it all be clear
i’ll be there or you’ll be here
i’ll be talking with you (long talks with you)
under streetlights
on long car rides
i can’t forget your eyes
through the dark nights
two hours till sunrise
i can’t forget your eyes
through the years and through the miles
i just want to see you smile
and be happy with you (happy with you)
i think somehow we could always see
it’d end up being you and me
me and you (just me and you)")

Lyrics:
All in my head
I feel the fog begin to lift
Maybe I could hold on to it
I hit a wall
I wasn’t asking for it all
Maybe I could have a little bit
Are you doing all right?
Come back
Impossible to know
How can I answer that
If I’m not
Maybe I’ll try again
And I’ll get it this time
I’m not enough
Could you be gentle with me love
Maybe I could come close to it
Try to keep up
Chasing a break that I can’t catch
Maybe I shouldn’t care so much
Are you doing all right?
Come back
Impossible to know
How can I answer that
If I’m not
Maybe I’ll try again
And I’ll get it this time
The thing that used to
ease your pain
Is aching lately
The thing that used to
keep you sane
It drives you crazy

About the Video:
I met Mike Smith, a super talented photographer, videographer and all around nice guy, while on tour with Chadwick Stokes last year. I asked if he might have an idea for a visual representation of this new stripped down version of “Patience” and he really nailed it. He seamlessly integrated some footage from his past Iceland travels with my home isolation footage. I am mostly confined to our home and lovely backyard with our dogs, here in Providence, Rhode Island. Laid against Mikes beautiful footage, the video creates this nostalgic mix of emotions. For me, it feels like longing… to go on an adventure, to see the people we love that we can’t be with right now, to travel, to explore…. but at the same time very much appreciating where I am in the moment, and being grateful for everything I have. -Brooke
About the Song:
“Patience” is a song that people would often ask me about after a live show. Now, its one of my most requested songs throughout my recent livestream shows. It’s a song I wrote to overcome a period of time where I needed patience the most, and it’s a song I can keep coming back to, now especially more than ever. I hope you enjoy this reimagined stripped back version inspired by some especially trying times, and I hope you and your loved ones find patience and peace during this incredibly challenging time. -Brooke
LYRICS:
Oh dear clarity please come
Show me what has just begun
With all the hopes and fears i’ve ever known
Oh and faith come back to me
Once convinced once believed
Now a mystery i’ll seek alone
If i’ve learned anything at all about this life
It’s the things that scare you the most that are always worth the time
Patience, hold me, let me feel this lonely
It’s the things that scare me the most that i know i need
There will always be these doubts
Things that we can’t figure out
Things that we’re not meant to know for sure
Oh dear patience please be mine
This will surely take some time
With perspective I will learn much more
