Met a man I didn't know he asked me how I'm doing
Should have just said, "Fine" cause it's all he wanted to hear
But for reasons unknown in a sorrowful tone
I said, "Man it's been a hell of a year."

CHORUS
And I don't really know where I'm going
And I might just be hanging around
If life's shades of grey, then I guess you could say
That I am waiting for a break in the clouds

Went to go see some gypsy to tell me my future
But she asked for my photograph instead
As I walked through the cold with my fortune untold
I said, "Good luck trying to reach me when I'm dead."

CHORUS
Cause I don't really know where I'm going
And I might just be hanging around
If life's shades of grey, then I guess you could say
That I am waiting for a break in the clouds
Yeah I've been waiting for a break in the clouds

I saw a love I used to know who swallowed me whole
On a day I was out of clean clothes
She sizes me up and says, "Honey how is your head?"
I said, "You can't call me honey but honey, heaven only knows.

CHORUS
Cause I don't really know where I'm going
And I might just be hanging around
If life's shades of grey, then I guess you could say
That I am waiting for a break in the clouds
Yeah I've been waiting for a break in the clouds

Finding a break in the clouds
No I don't know where I'm going
And I might just be hanging around
And if life's shades of grey then I guess you could say
That I've been waiting for a break in the clouds.
