lyrics

Come clean to me now
Wet feet on the floor
I can figure you out, I can figure you out

Step clean to me now
Wet footprints inside
I can tell you you're mine, I can tell you you're mine

You can't hide it now
I know your hand
I think you understand, I think you understand

Can't join you now
It's a game for one
You'll find out when I'm gone, you'll find out when I'm gone

So tell me once, tell me nice
All the things you think I should know
Let them seep out of my brain
Every time I am alone
How much thunder would there be
If I'd known you 12 years ago?
It only takes once to kill me
But first you've got to let me go

Pour it over me now
Let me bathe in your past
I don't need to ask, I don't need to ask

Get ready now
Never easy to take
There's a future to face, there's a future to face

Doesn't matter now
Moving down the line
I can tell you you're mine, I can tell you you're mine

We are here now
There's nothing to change
Let go of the blame, let go of the blame

So tell me once, tell me nice
All the things you think I should know
Let them seep out of my brain
Every time I am alone
How much thunder would there be
If I'd known you 12 years ago?
It only takes once to kill me
But first you've got to let me go

So tell me once, tell me nice
All the things you think I should know
Let them seep out of my brain
Every time I am alone
How much thunder would there be
If I'd known you 12 years ago?
It only takes once to kill me
But first you've got to let me go
