Barely Listening - Pilot Speed

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

Ands she asks him for his strength

The night will go on bleeding

Was it faith that paid the rent?

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 barely listening

Standing there in the doorway

With a candle and a gun

Light tears through open windows

For now the day has won

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 barely listening

Like a child on her way here

Will you smile and run away?

Faith won’t find you 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

Now I’m waiting

It’s not worth waiting

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…

You can’t shape love with a hammer

And you can’t shape life with a will

What horror lies in knowing

There’s no fate that chaos can’t kill
