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..
