Clean

I know the differences that lay between us
I never gave it all that much fuss
But if you’re intend on digging up the past
Think about the actions you take
They could be your last

I’ve seen the full moon shimmer on the sea
A honey hive production quivering in me
I’ve seen the sun rise on many an occasion
Left me blinded without a salvation
But it all came around for good
It all made this completely understood

Because I know tomorrow is another day
No different, no better than the one today
And I know my miscalculations
Will leave me heading the right way
That’s life, that’s fate, my destiny

I know right from wrong
And this has gone on far too long
Maybe the stars weren’t right
Maybe I should say goodbye tonight
But somehow the ocean waves make me clean
And I’m feeling the best I’ve ever been

So I don’t ask for forgiveness
For my unfaithful business
I’m happy with who I am
No wolves here to slaughter this lamb
I can’t be held contemptible
By a law that’s implausible

Made up to keep me in line
And why shouldn’t I feel fine

I’ve seen the full moon shimmer on the sea
A honey hive production quivering in me
I’ve seen the sun rise on many an occasion
Left me blinded without a salvation
But it all came around for good
It all made this completely understood

Because I know tomorrow is another day
No different, no better than the one today
And I know my miscalculations
Will leave me heading the right way
That’s life, that’s fate, my destiny
