Clean Lyrics

[00:20.12] The drought was the very worst
[00:25.23] (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
[00:29.31] When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst
[00:38.47] It was months and months of back and forth
[00:43.62] (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
[00:47.63] You're still all over me
[00:50.23] Like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore
[00:55.48] Hung my head as I lost the war
[00:59.45] And the sky turned black like a perfect storm
[01:04.99] Rain came pouring down
[01:09.84] When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe
[01:14.89] And by morning
[01:18.47] Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
[01:24.28] (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
[01:29.38] There was nothing left to do
[01:33.80] (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
[01:38.23] When the butterflies turned to dust that covered my whole room
[01:47.87] So I punched a hole in the roof
[01:52.76] (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
[01:56.86] Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you
[02:04.21] The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud
[02:09.84] But no one heard a thing
[02:13.92] Rain came pouring down
[02:18.97] When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe
[02:24.11] And by morning
[02:27.75] Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
[02:33.48] (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
[02:34.83] I think I am finally clean
[02:37.89] (Oh, oh) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
[02:43.55] Said, I think I am finally clean
[02:47.56] (Oh, oh) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
[02:51.01] Ten months sober, I must admit
[02:55.38] Just because you're clean, don't mean you don't miss it
[03:00.27] Ten months older, I won't give in
[03:04.79] Now that I'm clean, I'm never gonna risk it
[03:11.11] The drought was the very worst
[03:15.60] (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
[03:19.72] When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst
[03:29.09] (Oh)
[03:30.36] Rain came pouring down
[03:35.02] When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe
[03:40.13] And by morning
[03:43.85] Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
[03:48.80] Rain came pouring down
[03:53.51] When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe
[03:58.74] And by morning
[04:02.30] Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
[04:08.04] (Oh, oh) Finally clean
[04:14.22] Think I'm finally clean (oh, oh)
[04:18.47] Oh-oh, oh-oh
[04:21.61] (Oh, oh, oh) Think I'm finally clean
[04:25.08]
