Clean

[Verse 1]

The drought was the very worst

When the flowers we'd grown together died of thirst

It was months and months of back-and-forth

You're still all over me like a wine-stained shirt I can't wear anymore

[Pre-Chorus]

Hung my head as I lost the war

And the sky turned black like a perfect storm

[Chorus]

And the rain came pouring down

When I was drownin', that's when I could finally breathe

And by mornin', gone was any trace of you

Think that I am finally clean

[Verse 2]

There was nothin' left to do

When the butterflies turned to dust, covering my room

So I punched a hole in the roof

Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you

[Pre-Chorus]

The water filled my lungs and I screamed so loud

But nobody heard a thing

[Chorus]

And the rain came pouring down

When I was drownin', that's when I could finally breathe

And by mornin', gone was any trace of you

Think that I am finally clean

[Bridge]

Ten months sober, I must admit

Just because you're clean don't mean you don't miss it

Ten months older, I won't give in

Now that I'm clean, I'm never gonna risk it

Now I'm clean, not gonna risk it

[Chorus]

The rain came pouring down

When I was drownin', that's when I could finally breathe

By morning, gone was any trace of you

I think that I am finally clean

It came pouring down

When I was drownin', that's when I could finally breathe

By mornin', gone was any trace of you

Gone was any trace of you

[Outro]

Oh-uh, gone was any trace, gone was any trace

Oh-ooh, uh, gone was any trace, gone was any trace

Uh, uh-huh, Gone was any trace, gone was any trace of you

Uh-huh

[Instrumental Outro]
