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