[Verse 1] Now, the preacher says "smile" like it’s easy as breathin’ And the TV man tells me I’m the queen of my fate. But the rent’s overdue and the winter is seepin' And some things just won't bend, no matter the weight. [Chorus] I didn’t choose the rain, and I can’t stop the pourin’ I’m steerin’ a boat on a heavy, grey sea. But I’ll choose if I’m sinkin’ or if I’m still rowin’ The storm is the world’s... but the heart belongs to me. [Verse 2] They say "just be happy," like flippin’ a light switch But my "hardware" is tired and the wiring is frayed. You can’t walk on a leg that’s been tossed in a ditch But you can choose the song in the bed where you’re laid. [Bridge] It ain’t instant, it ain’t magic, it’s a slow, steady climb To find that one inch of space in the middle of time. [Outro] No, I can't change the cards... But I’m still the one playin' the hand.
