Song | The Skeptic |
Artist | Brendan James |
Album | Simplify |
Once there was a man | |
A good and honest man | |
He came home one day to his loving family | |
He said you’ll never believe | |
We have got to leave | |
Daddy wants to make a toast | |
We’re heading out for the west coast | |
Driving US 1 | |
Counting the stars and sun | |
Turns to his wife and says | |
“How could I of believed em | |
I got the call today | |
There’s no job waiting for me” | |
He was fooled by the man and the thought of wind rushing through the palm trees | |
Now I see holes in Noah’s Arc | |
I see dirt in the reservoir | |
I see struggle in the architecture | |
I see sorrow in the family picture | |
But I see you and it’s enough | |
I’m a skeptic but I see love | |
I see love, yeah | |
Once there was a woman | |
A young and trusting woman | |
She believed in the institution | |
The marriage of revolution | |
She was an old school girl | |
From the old school world | |
But the man that she chose | |
Had other ideas I suppose | |
Could have been an easy street | |
Could have been a dream complete | |
Instead it was a mournful day | |
Had to turn her love away | |
And give it to her boy and girl | |
Pieces of her broken world | |
All the things that he took | |
She got back from her kids with one look | |
Now I see holes in Noah’s Arc | |
I see dirt in the reservoir | |
I see struggle in the architecture | |
I see sorrow in the family picture | |
I see you and it’s enough | |
Yeah, I’m a skeptic but I see love | |
I see love, yeah | |
When it all goes wrong | |
When I’m down and out | |
When the bad things happen | |
And I just can’t count | |
When the hammer falls | |
And the clock strikes two | |
When I’m the only one | |
I think of you | |
I’m a young believer | |
With a cranked receiver | |
I live without a home | |
Me and my busted phone | |
I got no guarantees | |
I got no proof to see | |
This life is a game that I play | |
I could win, I could lose, I could fade away | |
Now I see holes in Noah’s Arc | |
I see dirt in the reservoir | |
I see struggle in the architecture | |
I see sorrow in the family picture | |
I see you and it’s enough | |
Yeah, I’m a skeptic but I see love | |
I see love | |
Yeah, I see love | |
Yeah, I see love | |
And it’s enough | |
It’s enough | |
It’s enough | |
Ooooh | |
It’s enough |
