Break In The Clouds

John Mayer · Other Songs - John Mayer

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.
