[Intro]
[distorted electric guitar riff with palm muting]
[drums enter with heavy crash]
(Mmm, yeah)
[bass enters]
(Come on!)

[Verse 1]
[driving drum beat, syncopated guitar stabs]
Red light sitting on a Sunday drive
Tap my fingers to keep me alive
Phone in my hand, screen still black
Three little dots never texted back
Coffee's cold and the clock's too loud
Everybody moves slow in this town
I ain't throwing punches, ain't raising hell
But waiting around ain't something I do well

[Chorus]
[full band intensity, open power chords]
I ain't mad, I'm just bad at being patient
Every minute feels a mile in the making
Got my foot on the gas when life hits the brakes
Trying not to lose my mind while I wait
I ain't angry, I just can't sit still
Wish I could but I never will
If you're wondering why I'm making this face
Then pick up the pace

[Post-Chorus]
[guitar riff continues]
(Oh, yeah)

[Verse 2]
[bass-driven groove, muted guitar]
Got a girl saying "baby, we'll see"
That's about the worst thing you can tell me
Got big plans and a tank half full
Heart runs fast but the road runs slow
Everybody says it'll happen in time
But time's been dragging its feet all night
I know good things come to those who wait
Guess that's why I'm always showing up late
Maybe someday I'll learn to breathe
Count to ten and let things be
But until then if I pace the floor
Just know what I'm doing it for

[Chorus]
[heavy drums, layered guitars]
I ain't mad at you, I ain't mad at fate
I'm just a-wrestling with every second it takes

[Guitar Solo]
[wah-pedal lead guitar, fast pentatonic runs, heavy rhythm section]

[Chorus]
[crescendo]
I ain't mad, I'm just bad at being patient
Every minute feels a mile in the making
Got my foot on the gas when life hits the brakes
Trying not to lose my mind while I wait
I ain't angry, I just can't sit still
Wish I could but I never will
If you're wondering why I'm making this face
Then pick up the pace

[Outro]
[shouted vocals]
Pick up the pace! (Hey!)
Pick up the pace! (Hey!)
Pick up the pace! (Hey!)
Pick up the pace!
[final guitar feedback and drum hit]
Pick up the pace.
