The old man in the underground
With his back against the wall
He sits still with his head down
And a cardboard sign with a desperate call
I've got a wallet full of cash
But all my dreams have gone to ash
And I'm not sure who these tears are for
Eastbound to Broadview
Already miss you and
Nobody'd know it
From lookin' at the sky
Cause the weather doesn't change
Just cause things are feelin' strange
So I will take this break in the clouds as
My permission
My permission
Oh I will take this break in the clouds as
A moment that I can breathe
I think that's what I need
My permission
My permission
My permission
A moment that I can breathe
I think that's what I need, mmm
All the time in the world on a silver platter
Well isn't that all you've ever asked for?
Cause all you've ever asked for is here
But in the rearview mirror
Is the place you thought you were goin'
Then suddenly what matters
Isn't on that silver platter
And you feel like you've been tricked
And your thoughts can make you sick
Now you're lookin' to the sky thinkin'
It's a win if I get by
So I will take this break in the clouds as
My permission
My permission
Oh I will take this break in the clouds as
A moment that I can breathe
I think that's what I need
My permission
My permission
My permission
A moment that I can breathe
A moment that I can breathe
I think that's what I need
I think that's what I need
I think that's what I need
I think that's what I need
I think that's what I need
I think that's what I need
My permission
My permission
I think that's what I need
