Mouths Of Babes Faith & Fumes Lyrics

I'm just a line through a square
On the wall hangin' there
Countin' favors, countin' pennies
Countin' prayers
So my mama told me how to do
You gotta get by on faith & fumes

I make a livin' it's been said
On livin' in the red
Til I'm famous, til I'm sober
Til I'm dead
It's the price you pay for lovin' what you do
You gotta get by on faith & fumes

Faith & fumes
Cause when you got nothin'
You got nothin' to lose
Yeah

You say "you can't go through life with the gas light on, girl"
But I swear if I hold out a little longer
Big ol' ship gonna sail my way
And I'll sleep soundly in this bed I made When the best part of the bills are paid
Ancient history are the days
Of the hands at 10 & 2
With both eyes closed
Always prayin' for a downhill to coast
To coast

I know I said I'd call today
But please believe me when I say
That I can taste your tears 3000 miles away
This picture on the nightstand just won't do
Someday I swear I'm gonna make it up to you
Til then, we'll get by on faith & fumes

Faith & fumes
Cause when you got nothin'
You got nothin' to lose
Yeah

I'm just a line through a square
On the wall hangin' there
Countin' favors, countin' pennies
Countin' prayers
