Lyrics

Barely Listening

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 the doorway

With a candle and a gun

The lights you threw open windows

For now the day has won

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...

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

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

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...

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
