I'm Not Praying
Where did you come from?
Told me you were born in a tree
You've been waiting for years
So you could come speak to me
And all of the birds in the sky
Are building a nest in your hair
You tell me you've been worrying about it
'Cause people stop and stare
And I'm up on the tightrope
You clap and they gasp
And the drum starts thudding
We look up at the moon
And the night comes around
And we start running
And all of the paint on our cheeks is a mess
Got caught in the rain
Taking a good look around here
'Cause we're not coming back again
And I'm not praying
I'm not praying
I'm not praying, no no
I'm not praying
Where did the days go?
Falling like leaves to the ground
I was trying to talk with you
But you were busy kicking them around
Told me what I was meant to believe in
And I thought I knew it so well
You came to me in a dream one day
Told me we'd be breaking bread in hell
And I'm up on the tightrope
You clap and they gasp
And the drum starts thudding
We look up at the moon
And the night comes around
And we start running
And all of the paint on our cheeks is a mess
Got caught in the rain
Taking a good look around here
'Cause we're not coming back again
And I'm not praying
I'm not praying
I'm not praying, no no
I'm not praying
Where did the days go?
Falling like leaves to the ground
And I'm up on the tightrope
You clap and they gasp
And the drum starts thudding
We look up at the moon
And the night comes around
And we start running
And all of the paint on our cheeks is a mess
Got caught in the rain
Taking a good look around here
'Cause we're not coming back again
And I'm not praying
I'm not praying
I'm not praying
No I'm not praying
I'm not praying
No I'm not praying
No I'm not praying
No I'm not praying
Told me you were born in a tree
You've been waiting for years
So you could come speak to me
And all of the birds in the sky
Are building a nest in your hair
You tell me you've been worrying about it
'Cause people stop and stare
And I'm up on the tightrope
You clap and they gasp
And the drum starts thudding
We look up at the moon
And the night comes around
And we start running
And all of the paint on our cheeks is a mess
Got caught in the rain
Taking a good look around here
'Cause we're not coming back again
And I'm not praying
I'm not praying
I'm not praying, no no
I'm not praying
Where did the days go?
Falling like leaves to the ground
I was trying to talk with you
But you were busy kicking them around
Told me what I was meant to believe in
And I thought I knew it so well
You came to me in a dream one day
Told me we'd be breaking bread in hell
And I'm up on the tightrope
You clap and they gasp
And the drum starts thudding
We look up at the moon
And the night comes around
And we start running
And all of the paint on our cheeks is a mess
Got caught in the rain
Taking a good look around here
'Cause we're not coming back again
And I'm not praying
I'm not praying
I'm not praying, no no
I'm not praying
Where did the days go?
Falling like leaves to the ground
And I'm up on the tightrope
You clap and they gasp
And the drum starts thudding
We look up at the moon
And the night comes around
And we start running
And all of the paint on our cheeks is a mess
Got caught in the rain
Taking a good look around here
'Cause we're not coming back again
And I'm not praying
I'm not praying
I'm not praying
No I'm not praying
I'm not praying
No I'm not praying
No I'm not praying
No I'm not praying
