[Verse 1]

Since I've been a child

Whenever I've looked at the sky

I've just seen clouds blocking the light

They used to be white

But now they are turning grey

Looks like it's going to start to rain

[Chorus]

When will this be over

I can take it no longer

I thought when I was older

Things would get better

[Verse 2]

As water touches my skin

I realize I didn't bring

An umbrella or a jacket

I'm so unprepared

Just standing here out in the open

As more and more clouds form

As it turns into a storm

Streets turn into rivers

And valleys into lakes

Everybody's always said

"Just wait for brighter days"

But now look where that got me

All I've ever done is wait

Now I'm drowning in the water

Any help comes too late

[Chorus]

When will this be over

I can take it no longer

I thought when I was older

Things would get better

[Bridge 1]

Looking back from today

Not seeking help was a mistake

Not seeking help was a mistake

[Bridge 2]

If I could go back in time

I would let someone help me

To blow the clouds away

So they can never turn grey

[Chorus]

When will this be over

I can take it no longer

I thought when I was older

Things would get better

When will this be over

I can take it no longer

I thought when I was older

Things would get better
