Umbrella Song-Torun Eriksen

It's not your loner personality that makes me sigh But rather the smiles that dress your lips and not your eyes I know what I see but know not always what to look for So when you're not near but right beside me I get insecure You know umbrellas help people stay dry But they don't stop the rain You know how certain clothes can make you feel unbeatable But they must come off again What is worse, being shut out in the cold, or turn to ice while waiting to be let inside? And what's the use in this tiptoeing around you I'm not invited here to entertain you nor to explain you to yourself. It's not your running off on inner trips that worries me But rather my wanting you to have me come along I know what I want but know not always what to ask for So when I'm afraid I might get hurt, I lie and hurt you more Where is my mood controller? It could turn tears into laughter Where is my illusion folder? It made me recall what I was after You know umbrellas help people stay dry But they don't stop the rain You know how certain clothes can make you feel unbeatable But they must come off again What is worse, being shut out in the cold, or turn to ice while waiting to be let inside? And what's the use in this tiptoeing around you I was not invited over here to entertain you nor to explain you to yourself. It's not your loneliness or self-contempt that makes me cry But rather my knowing I can't make it go away, no, it might only grow if I try.
