"Barely Listening" Lyrics

Lying 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]
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
Would you 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

It's not worth waiting

[Chorus]

You can't shape love with a hammer
You can't shape life with a will
What horror lies in knowing there's
No fate that chaos can't kill
