Donovan Woods Lyrics
"Clean Slate"

This ain't the first time I felt my heart beat faster,
Praying for the best, knowing most prayers don't get answered,
I remember the fall and I remember getting back up after,
I know only a fool pretends like the past don't matter,

I wanna love you like I've ever loved anyone
I wanna sing you like a song I ain't ever sung

I wanna love you like the first time I saw the sun rise,
I wanna laugh with you like I don't know the punchline,
I wanna give you my heart unburdened by all the uncertainty we face
I wanna love you with a clean slate

Like we ain't ever felt the cold when the sparks stopped
Like we ain't ever seen a gold band sitting in a pawn shop
Like temptation don't exist and we ain't ever felt lonely,
Like I ain't afraid to let you really know me

I wanna love you like the first time I saw the sun rise,
I wanna laugh with you like I don't know the punchline,
I wanna give you my heart unburdened by all the uncertainty we face
I wanna love you with a clean slate
