a break in the clouds

John Mayer

I met a man I didn't know
that asked me: how are you doing?
Shoulda 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
And I don't really know where I'm going
And I might just be hanging around

And I don't really know where I'm going
And I might just be hanging around
If life's shades of gray
Then I guess you could say
That I've been waiting for a break in the clouds

I 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

'Cause I don't really know where I'm going
And I might just be hanging around
If life's shades of gray
Then I guess you could say
That I've been waiting on a break in the clouds
That I've been waiting for a break in the clouds

I saw the love I used to know swallow me whole
On a day I was out of clean clothes
She sized me up and she said
honey how is your head
I said you can't call me honey
but honey heaven only knows

And I don't really know where I'm going
And I might just be hanging around
If life's shades of gray
Then I guess you could say
That I've been waiting for a break in the clouds

Bet your gonna be findin' a break in the clouds
No, no, no I don't know where I'm going
And I might might might just be hanging around
And if life shades of gray
Then I guess you could say
That I've been waiting for a break in the clouds
