[Verse 1]
Dear patience
Can we share a drink and let go of the pressure?
Dear patience
'Cause the last time that we talked seems like forever
And ever

[Pre-Chorus]
Feels like you don't even know me
Just me and the stars can get lonely

[Chorus]
Hey, can you show your face?
Can you see that I'm anxious?
Can you hear what I'm saying, saying?
Hey, 'cause I fall too fast
And I go down blazing
Can you hear what I'm saying?

[Verse 2]
Dear patience
If I pour my heart out, can you keep a promise? (Mmm, mmm)
'Cause the situation
Is like a mountain that's been weighing on my conscience
If I'm being honest

[Pre-Chorus]
Feels like you don't even know me (Don't even know me)
Just me and the stars can get lonely

[Chorus]
Oh, hey, can you show your face?
Can you see that I'm anxious?
Can you hear what I'm saying, saying?
Hey, 'cause I fall too fast
And I go down blazing
Can you hear what I'm saying?

[Bridge]
The way you make time disappear
I hope that I find you, my dear
The way you make time disappear
I hope that I find you, my dear

[Verse 3]
Patience
Can we share a drink and let go of the pressure? Oh, oh
Dear patience
'Cause the last time that we talked seemed like forever
And ever

[Chorus]
Hey, can you show your face? (Show your face)
Can you see that I'm anxious?
Can you hear what I'm saying, saying?
Hey, 'cause I fall too fast (Fall too fast)
And I go down blazing
Can you hear what I'm saying?

[Outro]
Dear patience

Niall Horan

Niall James Horan (born September 13th, 1993) is an Irish singer-songwriter, musician, and founder of Modest! Golf Management company. He auditioned on The X Factor at 16 years of age as a solo act and he came to worldwide prominence when he and four other boys were joined together to form pop boy band One Direction, which became one of the biggest boy bands in the world. Since the band’s hiatus in 2015, Horan has released two solo albums, has collaborated with the likes of Maren Morris, Julia Michaels and Ashe and has created a track for animated comedy film Smallfoot.

In September 2016, it was revealed that Niall had signed a solo contract with Capitol Records.

Following this news, Horan released his debut solo single “This Town”, becoming the first One Direction member to release solo music. “This Town” showcases his songwriting skills and vocals, as Horan strips everything down to him and his guitar. In support of the single, he also uploaded a one-take acoustic version of the single. The song peaked at No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart on January 14th, 2017.
