Unwelcome

They come in like the rain
 They come in like the rain
 Unwelcome, like the water flooding its way
 Through the underground
 Seeping in and tugging at the corners of my mouth
 And I pack my umbrella for another day
 I knew a girl who told me
 She told me "you don't want to know
 You don't want to know all they've done to me"
 When she was done crying she just cracked a joke
 She cracked a joke
 And she has a smile for every thunderstorm
 She has a smile for every thunderstorm
 But mostly the days carry light
 Oh and you tried running away
 Oh and you tried running back home again
 But when you just sit tight
 It's just up and down
 And up and down and up again
 A good friend of mine likes to say
 "Life's so hard when you're not in bed"
 And mostly I'd agree with him
 Yeah there are some days
 When you peer off the brisbane bridge
 And think sweet thoughts about the river
 Yeah there are some days when the past
 Is just a maze where you lost yourself
 Do you feel you might waste away?
 But mostly the days carry light
 Oh and you tried running away
 Oh and you tried running back home again
 But when you just sit tight
 It's just up and down
 And up and down and up again
 And I pack my umbrella for another day.
