about

Clean is all about letting go of someone who you thought would be around forever, and learning to be your own best friend in their place. Many bitter tears were shed over the words to this song, and it was a lesson in healing for me. I had to fall down hard and pick myself back up again to see that I could be happy on my own without this friend I had lost. I'm still figuring out a way to forgive her, but Clean is about forgiving and learning to love myself.

lyrics

I have a pocketful of moving parts
These wounded animal tears
An empty room to pace around, and the endless sound of grinding gears
I'm waiting in vain for you to tell me what I want to hear


When I say I miss you, I only miss the feeling
Breathless on the floor, I'm aching for the ceiling
I'll bite off more than i can chew if it means I'll start my healing
I've never been so clean


I don't have words for you, there's nothing there to talk to
And I will not drain myself so that you might be full
I swear I'm gonna find a way to keep on pushing through


When I say I miss you, I only miss the feeling
Breathless on the floor, I'm aching for the ceiling
I'll bite off more than i can chew if it means I'll start my healing
I've never been so clean


I'll always be on the run
There's nothing here for me
But someday I will find my peace and leave it up to fate
There'll be laughter in the wind, and daisies on your grave


When I say I miss you, I only miss the feeling Breathless on the floor, I'm aching for the ceiling
I'll bite off more than i can chew if it means I'll start my healing
I've never been so clean


I could be anyone, there's not much here to see
But I think it'd be better if this had less to do with me
I'm letting go of things that I've tried so hard to keep


When I say I miss you, I only miss the feeling Breathless on the floor, I'm aching for the ceiling
I'll bite off more than i can chew if it means I'll start my healing
I've never been so clean
