Wash Away

Podcast: 

You said wake up
forget your troubles
wake up new
like I wait for you.
I said grab my hand
we're goin' down
down this dark path
gonna find some truth
and I don't know when
I'll see your face again
it's cold in here
back where it all began.

I'll tell you mine
deep, dark and sweet
just like the river
that flows beneath our feet.
There once was a girl
who knew what it meant
to say "goodbye" to him
"next week" was all it meant.

So I'll wait here
for you to lean back
into me
tell me all you've got.
Tell me all those tales
about all that pain
that's never really
washed away...

I said wake up
forget your troubles,
wake up new
like I wait for you.
You said grab my hand
we're goin' down
down this dark path
gonna find some truth...
