Unwelcome - Chris Pureka

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.
