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
