I lie awake on this phone call just dreaming of better days Flowers lie on the counter, reminder of better days
She says a prayer up to Jesus And she asks him for his strength And the night will go on bleeding Was it faith that paid the rent?
[Chorus] I know you’re barely listening I know you’re barely listening I know you’re barely listening Now I know you’re…. I know you’re barely listening I know you’re barely listening I know you’re barely listening Now I know you’re….
Standing here in the doorway with a candle and a gun The lights you threw open windows For now the day has won
[Chorus]
Like a child on her way here You just smile and run the other way And faith won’t find me a reason It just smiles and runs the other way It just smiles…. It just smiles and runs the other way It just smiles…. It just smiles and then runs the other way
(scat singing) It’s not worth waiting
[Chorus]
You question love with a camera And you’re catching love with a will Well heart lies in loneliness Now fight the past can kill
