[Verse 1]
Em    C
I was sat up on the train

Staring out the window at the rain 
(aye)
Em                        C
I heard this little lady must've 
felt the pain ask her mum

if the blazing sun’ll ever shine 
again
Em                      C
I felt ashamed feel the same not her
 mother though

Nah, started to laugh got her son 
involved (aye)
G
Mention the past like a running joke

And told her 'without all the rain 
there's no stunning growth’
Em
Close, ah
C
To everything and nothing

Picture past the honeymoon and 
bluffing
                  Em
Where the wooden spoon is only 
cuffing
C
Shorter the discussion but the roots
 can't manoeuvre out of nothing
                          Em
I've been suffering these dreamy 
days (ah)
C
Remedy and lust don't hold any 
memories of us
                      G
Rather hold you everyday until the 
memories are dust

Yo we only caught the train cause 
you know I hate the bus
              Em
Never get enough


[Chorus: Jordan Rakei]
         C
Born and raised
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
                         Em
Made attempts to crawl away
        C                        
Find a way to exist and hide your 
    Em
face some relate
C
Leave everything in yesterday


[Verse 2]
 Em                       C
(Aye) They ask about the bible I was
 reading

Told them that the title was 
misleading
G            Em
labelled it Jerusalem but really its
    C
for cooking Middle-Eastern

I could see your mind was changing 
with
                        Em
the seasons shady for a reason (ah)
     C
They will start decreasing, leaving 
like the orange in the evening
                            G
It was creeping through the clouds 
but now I'm proud to see the images 
releasing

I just wish the little lady could've
                              Em
seen it but she was dreaming (ah)
             C
Reckon she's standing with her mum 
saying to her

 'look, mother here’s the sun’ 
rooted
       Em
in the moment til the memories are 
done
C
So I sit and start to wonder on the 
woman she'll become
                      Em
Wonder if I’ll have a son or a
          C
daughter, ones that I brought up 
never strong never telling me to run
                      G
Never tried to find a sum, tryna get
 it done yo

I wonder if she'll ever be as clever
 as her mum, one


[Chorus: Jordan Rakei]
