Pilot Speed - 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?

[Chorus]

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 the doorway

With a candle and a gun

The light tears through 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 *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

It's not worth waiting*

It’s not worth waiting

[Chorus]

And 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 chaos can't kill
