Brendan James - The Skeptic Lyrics

Brendan James – The Skeptic Lyrics

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
