Pilate - Barely Listening lyrics

rate me

I lie awake on this phone call, she's dreaming of better days

Flowers lie on the counter, remind her of better days

She sends 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?

*And 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 a doorway with a candle and a gun

The light tears through open windows

For now the day has won

[Repeat *]

Like a child on her way here

You just smile and run the other way

And faith won't find you a reason

It just smiles and runs the other way

And 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

[Repeat *]

you can't shape love with a hammer,

and you can't shape love with a will,

what horror lies in knowing there's no faith that chaos can't kill
