I Want to Be Clean - Kevin Morby

Every night I fly to the sky and cry

Let it rain down on everyone below

And as the tears hit her head

She says, «I'm better off dead»

But instead she falls into a bar

And she orders a drink

Until her breath starts to stink

And she calls up an old friend

Just to see what they think

And they say, «Put down the phone

Oh, just get yourself home

Leave it alone, dear»

She says, «I get too scared

And I’ll accept any death

I just care and that’s my problem»

And I want to be clean

No, I don’t want to be mean

Or break anybody’s heart

Every flower, oh, has the power

To change a life of a man or a woman with its color

And every plant, mmm, just wants to dance

In the warm breeze you can hear it say «please»

And every car or machine has a motor

And you really turned my on

And you turned my, my motor over

And everybody, oh my god, in this town

Thinks it’s real funny

Or that I’m still right

And, oh, my wild flower

Don’t you know you hold the power?

And you put our lives in danger

Just to think one day we were just strangers

Oh, how I’ve ruined you

And oh, how you’ve ruined me too

And I want to be clean

No, I don’t want to be mean

Or break anybody’s heart
