lyrics

Australia, I wanna love you,
But you make it so damn hard.
Another day, sleep in late,
Here I lay and there you are..
White washed news,
The sunrise crew,
Bicycles and passing cars.

I walk to the kitchen,
The house is empty,
The sink is full but I'm ok,
I what I say as I water the plants,
Listen to the wind dance,
Through the branches of a
Big old tree.. it all feels so strange to me.

And I broke my thumb, being dumb,
Riding bikes got drunk last night,
Played a gig, had a swig,
And I thought I felt alright,
But then this morning, laying in bed,
My thumb was bigger than my head.

And I didn't know, what to do,
I lay there and thought of you,
About my mum so far away,
Skipped uni again today,
Call in sick, tell a lie,
Feel like I'm wasting my time.

So I called my dad, we had a chat,
It was nice to hear the crackle
of his voice, gently, saying that he misses me,
And all the things, we used to do,
And I said dad I miss you too.

So I scroll though facebook, my news feed,
And I can't stand the things I see.
Tells me more kids should be taken away,
They want to repeat history,
Take everything, one's ever known,
Another child without a home.

Taken away, torn apart,
Thrown in the back seat of a car.
Australia, I wanna love you,
But you make it so damn hard.

Australia, I wanna love you,
But you make it so damn hard.
