Barely Listening

Barely Listening Lyrics

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
