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 know 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 Then 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 (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 (my) clean slate
