Lyrics

I spent half my life

Dressing for the forecast

Waiting on a green light

That nobody could give

Kept the stranger parts of me

Folded out of sight

Then one morning I woke up

And they fit me just right

The sky never asked my age

The wind never asked my name

So why should I need permission

To move a different way?

My own weather

My own time

I don't wait for clearer skies

Let the whole sky lose its mind

I won't lose mine

My own weather

Let it roll

I've been learning what to hold

Let it turn

Let it rise

I don't wait for clearer skies

I packed the person they remembered

In an old brown case

Left it by an empty highway

And walked away

There were years I wore too carefully

And words I swallowed whole

Funny how the older heart gets lighter

When it quits performing roles

I have danced through goodbyes

I have laughed at bad advice

And I don't ask the clouds permission anymore

My own weather

My own time

I don't wait for clearer skies

Let the whole sky lose its mind

I won't lose mine

My own weather

Let it roll

Some things break

Some things grow

Let it turn

Let it rise

I don't wait for clearer skies

I don't need another beginning

I don't need my twenty-five

I've got enough road behind me

To know when I'm alive

Every wrinkle knows a story

Every scar remembers when

And if I had to live it over

I'd still become me again

The storm can keep its thunder

The years can keep their speed

I've stopped asking tomorrow

For what I already need

My own weather

My own time

I don't wait for clearer skies

Let the whole sky lose its mind

I won't lose mine

My own weather

Here I am

Not too early

Not too late

Let it turn

Let it rise

I am done with asking why

My own weather

My own life

I don't wait for clearer skies

Let it roll

Let it rise

The sky can change

So can I

My own weather

My own life
