The January rain drapes the sky in grey
And hides away the sun
And the pattering can be maddening
But I'll wait until it's done
For I can't chase the clouds away
And I can't stop the falling rain
It's out of my hands, it's out of my hands
There's nothing that I can do
And sometimes I know that life doesn't go
The way that I want it to
On your gentle face there's a subtle change
A light has left your eyes
Something's buried deep, that I'll never reach
A flame I can't ignite
And it's a sweet illusion to feel in control
But the bitter truth is I'll never know
It's out of my hands, it's out of my hands
There's nothing that I can do
And sometimes I know that life doesn't go
The way that I want it to
And if you never want me the way that I want you
It's out of my hands, it's out of my hands
There's nothing that I can do
And sometimes I know that life doesn't go
The way that I want it to
And if you take your love away and run
To someone new
Nothing I can do
It's out of my hands
So it doesn't matter when or whether
We will ever be together
When there's nothing else that I can do
