The song is about a record label that was going to sign The Swellers but backed out after 10 months of talking. The record label could not financially make the deal, and soon after many of the label’s signed bands were dropped. What seemed like a bad situation actually turned out to be a clean sla...
No more dreams of the southwest
I just got a taste
And a little dust from every state
Caught underneath my shoes
That'll never wash away
I'm no stranger to the rust
We made this with our hands
From a billion other grains of sand
I'd rather have gray skies
Spotlights can burn through any man
Call it a clean slate
Not just a mistake
For all this time, all this time
It may be different
But I don't feel so bad now
There are no promises out there
Maybe I can't see straight
It eventually evaporates
Got a slight change of plans
I'll call some good friends of mine
I'm never going back
Or at least for some time
And first a train off track
I'll come back like an avalanche
Call it a clean slate
Not just a mistake
For all this time, all this time
It may be different
But I don't feel so bad now
I'll find myself
I'll find myself
Call it a clean slate
Not just a mistake
For all this time, all this time
It may be different
But I don't feel so bad now
Call it a clean slate
Not just a mistake
For all this time, all this time
It may be different
But I don't feel so bad now
