Uninvited Guest
[Verse 1]
I am walking the streets, I am wandering aimlessly
I can see that it's all for sale and it saddens me
All alone and it looks like everyone else is busy
All avoiding eye contact with me

[Chorus]
I could be well-dressed, even on the money I have left
I could buy another day of nothing
Even in my best, I'm an uninvited guest
Waste another day on nothing
I could get out of my head, even on the money I have left
I could buy another day of nothing
Even in my best, I'm an uninvited guest
Lost another day of nothing

[Verse 2]
I've been walking the streets, it's another purposeless day
I am far from the reasons it took to pass this way
I am haunted by thoughts, I am daunted by things to do and people to see
Catch my eye, passerby, before I pass through

[Chorus]
I could be well-dressed, even on the money I have left
I could buy another day of nothing
Even in my best, I'm an uninvited guest
Waste another day on nothing
I could get out of my head, even on the money I have left
I could buy another day of nothing
I could never quite forget, I'm an uninvited guest
[Bridge]
I keep wandering aimlessly until that flickering moment of intensity
A familiar stranger will recognise me
Will glance my way, see something in me
I keep wandering aimlessly until that flickering moment of intensity
A familiar stranger will recognise me
Will glance my way, see something in me
I keep on wandering aimlessly until that flickering moment of intensity
A familiar stranger will recognise me, will see something in me
Well, to see something, here in the world, time maybe curved by a word

[Chorus]
I could be well-dressed, even on the money I have left
I could buy another day of nothing
Even in my best, I'm an uninvited guest
Waste another day on nothing
I could get out of my head, even on the money I have left
I could buy another day of nothing
Even in my best, I'm an uninvited guest
Lost another day of nothing

[Outro]
Not sure how I'm gonna survive survival
Don't know if this is living a life worthwhile
Not sure if I have even arrived on arrival, I'm tired
Not sure if I'm ready to laugh or to cry
