M. Ward - Clean Slate Lyrics

When I was a younger man
I thought the pain of defeat would last forever
But now I don't what it would take to make my heart back down

'Cause I only have to wait a little while
Before I get my
Clean slate

And somewhere in another place
Who knows could be another lifetime
Everything we gave away returns like a seed from a fugitive tree

And you only have to wait a little while
Before you
Find the truth

And I only had to wait a little while
Yeah, I only had to wait a little while
Yeah, I only had to wait a little while
Before I got my
Clean slate
