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
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
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'm not 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
I wanna love you with a clean slate

I wanna love you like I've never 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
I wanna love you with a clean slate
